Chapter 3 mentions that listening to the Guru's stories is a universal path. Who is this path accessible to, and what is required to engage in it?

Chapter 3 of the Sai Satcharitra makes it clear that the path of listening to the Guru's stories is universally accessible. It is not restricted by social standing or gender. The text explicitly states that for all four castes, from Brahmins onwards, as well as for women, Shudras, and those of low caste, 'it is one means for all.' Unlike other spiritual practices like yoga or meditation which require various efforts, this chapter highlights that 'no exertion is needed for listening to these stories, except for focused attention.' This makes it an exceptionally inclusive and simple spiritual practice.
