Based on the introduction to Chapter 36, what is the stated purpose and effect of narrating the lives of saints like Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 36

The introductory part of Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explicitly outlines the purpose and profound effect of narrating a saint's life. The text asserts that the greatness of saints is infinite and that listening to their stories is a path to spiritual welfare. As described in Chapter 36, these narrations are not mere entertainment but are likened to "the very water of self-bliss" that purifies the listener and speaker. The primary effect is the removal of "the fatigue and misery of worldly existence," leading to a state of happiness and a deeper thirst for devotion.
