Based on the beginning of Chapter 36, what is the significance of listening to Sai Baba's stories?

According to the introduction of Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, listening to Sai's stories is a profound spiritual practice. The text describes these narratives not as simple stories, but as "the very water of self-bliss." It suggests that engaging with these tales removes the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness. The chapter emphasizes that if a fortunate soul desires their own spiritual welfare, they should listen respectfully to the narration of Sai’s life. It is said that this practice intensely increases the thirst for devotion, and Sai himself loves his own stories, using them as a pretext to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
