According to Chapter 45, the act of listening to Sai's stories is most effective when done with a particular state of mind. The text specifies that one who listens 'with a concentrated mind' while 'bowing at Sai’s feet' is performing this holy act. The result of such listening is a mind that 'attains such concentration that the resulting peace is unique and indescribable.' This passage from Chapter 45 suggests that the benefits are not passive; they require active participation from the devotee through focus, reverence, and humility to achieve the profound spiritual peace offered by Sai's literary form.
