According to Chapter 43, while the news of the body's end does not typically please anyone's heart and listeners might grow weary, the passing of saints and sages is a special case. The chapter explicitly states that hearing about these events purifies both the listeners and the speakers. This aligns with the chapter's earlier point that the remembrance of the glory of God's devotees and their bhajan is an easy and effective means for purifying the mind, suggesting that the story of their passing is a powerful form of such remembrance.
Chapter 43 mentions that the story of a body's end can be wearying. Why, then, does it say we should listen to the passing of saints?
