Chapter 3 discusses various paths to the "supreme goal" across different ages. What is the prescribed method for the Kali Age, and how does it compare to other spiritual endeavors like yoga or meditation?

Chapter 3 of the Sai Satcharitra contrasts the spiritual paths of different eras. It notes that the Kruta Age required 'control of mind and senses,' the Treta Age focused on 'sacrifice,' and the Dwapara Age on 'worship.' For the current Kali Age, the text identifies 'singing the stories of the Name' as the simple and primary means for attaining the supreme goal. As Chapter 3 explains, this method, specifically listening to the Guru's stories, is much more accessible than other endeavors. While yoga, sacrifice, and meditation require various efforts, listening to these stories requires no such exertion, demanding only the listener's focused attention.
