How do Sai Baba's stories produce spiritual transformation in a listener?

According to Chapter 2, the process of spiritual transformation through Sai Baba's stories is multifaceted. It begins when one engages with them through hearing, singing, and contemplation with genuine faith. This practice is said to immediately give rise to devotion while destroying ignorance. Baba emphasizes that he is "always subservient" where there is devotion with faith. This leads the listener to attain "self-experience and self-bliss," resulting in a natural state of happiness. The ultimate effect is that the devotee gains knowledge of their true form, achieving harmony between the soul and Shiva, and the formless Consciousness manifests within them.
