Could you provide a summary of how Sai Baba uses his own stories to connect with and help his followers?

As detailed in Chapter 36, Sai Baba uses his stories as a primary vehicle for bestowing grace and fulfilling the needs of his followers. The text explains that he loves his own stories very much and, by constantly providing memories of them, he connects with his devotees. It states that he makes the listener and the speaker a 'mere pretext' to fulfill the desires of the devotees. This suggests that the act of narrating and listening is a sacred transaction through which his power flows. These stories are described as the 'water of self-bliss' that quenches spiritual thirst and removes worldly misery, making them a tool for both spiritual upliftment and material aid.
