Chapter 11 explains that meditating on the Guru's story allows for meditation on the manifest (Saguna) form, an act it equates in spiritual merit to the "chanting of the Eleven Rudras." The direct benefit of this practice, as detailed in the chapter, is a deeper understanding of Sai Baba's greatness and his authority over the natural elements. However, the ultimate benefit described in Chapter 11 is the blossoming of loving devotion within the devotee. This devotion is what causes the "bud of the mind" to finally open. Without this blooming, the text notes, the mind has no spiritual "fragrance" or "nectar," signifying that true spiritual realization and bliss are unattainable without devotion to the manifest form.
Chapter 11 compares reading it to the 'chanting of the Eleven Rudras.' What does the text say is the ultimate benefit of meditating on Sai's manifest form?
