Can you explain the significance of listening to Sai's stories as mentioned in Chapter 36?

Chapter 36 emphasizes that listening respectfully to the narration of Sai’s stories is a path to achieving one's own spiritual welfare. The text poetically describes these stories as the 'very water of self-bliss,' which paradoxically increases the thirst for devotion rather than quenching it. It is stated that these succulent stories delight the listener, removing the fatigue and misery of worldly existence and ultimately leading to a state of happiness. The act of listening is considered purifying for the ears, just as speaking them purifies the mouth.
