According to Chapter 36, listening to Sai Baba's stories is a profound spiritual practice. The text describes them not as mere tales, but as 'the very water of self-bliss,' which, instead of quenching thirst, intensely increases the devotee's desire for more devotion. The primary purpose of these stories is to help a fortunate soul achieve their own spiritual welfare. As explained in the chapter, listening to these succulent stories removes the fatigue and misery of worldly existence and helps one attain a state of happiness. Sai Baba himself loves his stories and uses their narration, making the listener and speaker a pretext, to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
