How does Chapter 15 connect the attainment of the 'supreme goal' (Paramartha) with the simple act of listening to stories?

Chapter 15 masterfully connects the highest spiritual attainment with the act of listening. It opens by stating that only those with 'immense merits' attain the vision of Sai and achieve the 'supreme goal (Paramartha).' The chapter then presents the method: listening to the 'nectar-like story' with patience and faith. It explains that this act destroys the fear of worldly existence and fills the heart with joy, which in turn allows the 'Self within' to manifest. According to the logic presented in Chapter 15, this inner manifestation and attainment of devotion and liberation are the very means to achieving the supreme goal, making the act of listening a powerful spiritual practice.
