How does the author describe the ideal way to listen to Baba's stories at the beginning of Chapter 21?

At the beginning of Chapter 21, the author sets a high standard for both storytelling and listening, especially concerning Baba's life. He posits that a speaker's words are "gone in vain" if the listener is not profoundly affected. The ideal response, as he describes it, is for the listener to sway upon hearing the narration, for the hair on their body to stand on end, for their throat to choke with emotion, and for tears of love and joy to flow from their eyes. This perspective underscores the idea that Baba's stories are not just for intellectual consumption but are meant to be a deeply emotional and transformative experience.
