How does Chapter 3 describe the benefits of listening to the Guru's stories, and who is considered eligible for this practice?

Chapter 3 of Sai Satcharitra details numerous benefits of engaging with the Guru's stories. It posits that this practice is an easy means to the supreme goal (Paramartha) that will burn away the five great sins and loosen the bonds of worldly existence, allowing one to regain their original self. The nectar of these stories can free individuals from distress over sensory pleasures and bring peace to their souls. As highlighted in Chapter 3, this path is universally accessible. It is not limited by social standing, as it is a single means for all, including Brahmins, women, Shudras, and those of low caste. The only prerequisite mentioned is having "merit in his pocket" to be drawn to listen.
