How does Chapter 36 of the Sai Satcharitra begin, and what is its stated purpose for the reader?

Chapter 36 of the Sai Satcharitra begins with a traditional invocation, offering salutations to various deities including Lord Ganesha, Goddess Saraswati, and Sadguru Sainath. The text states that listening to Sai's stories is not just for entertainment but is like drinking the 'water of self-bliss,' which intensely increases the thirst for devotion. As described in Chapter 36, the purpose of narrating these stories is to quench this spiritual thirst, remove the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, and help a fortunate soul achieve their own spiritual welfare by respectfully listening to the life story of Sai.
