How does Chapter 3 describe the multi-step process for achieving spiritual peace and transcending the self by studying Sai Baba's stories?

📖 Chapter 3

Chapter 3 outlines a specific methodology for spiritual attainment through Sai Baba's life stories. The process begins with listening to the stories with respect. The next step is to contemplate them fully, absorbing their meaning. Finally, one must practice deep meditation, or 'Nididhyasana,' on what has been contemplated. The text states that following this path leads to the dissolution of the egoic self, where the sense of 'I am That' (Aham-Soham) dissolves. The ultimate result is that the listener's mind transcends its normal state ('Unman'), and the heart becomes a 'cloud of consciousness' (Chaitanyaghan), which is achieved through exclusive and complete faith in Sai.
