How does Chapter 3 contrast the practice of listening to the Guru's stories with more traditional spiritual endeavors like yoga or meditation?

In Chapter 3, a clear distinction is made between listening to the Guru's stories and other spiritual disciplines. The text notes that practices such as Yoga, sacrifice, meditation, and concentration require various and often strenuous efforts. In contrast, the path of listening to the stories is presented as requiring no such exertion. The only thing needed is focused attention. This chapter positions listening not as a lesser practice, but as a more direct and simple means for the supreme goal in the Kali Age, capable of burning away the five great sins without the complex efforts demanded by other paths.
