Chapter 3 mentions that the path of listening to the Guru's stories is open to everyone. Can you elaborate on who is included and what is required to benefit from this practice?

Indeed, Chapter 3 powerfully emphasizes the universal accessibility of its prescribed spiritual path. It explicitly states that for all four castes, from Brahmins onwards, the primary means is 'listening to the stories of the Guru.' The text goes further to clarify that this path is equally available to 'woman, Shudra, or of low caste,' making it 'one means for all.' The only prerequisite mentioned within this chapter is having 'merit in his pocket,' suggesting a pre-existing spiritual inclination. Beyond that, the key requirement is not strenuous effort but rather 'focused attention' while listening, underscoring that spiritual progress is not limited by social status.
