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

📖 Chapter 21

At the start of Chapter 21, the author reflects on the ideal interaction between a storyteller and a listener regarding Sai Baba's life. He posits that narrations are futile if they don't evoke a deep spiritual and emotional response. He states that the speaker's words have 'gone in vain' if 'the listener does not sway upon hearing them' or if 'the hair on the body does not stand on end.' He believes a successful narration is one where listeners are delighted, their throats choke up with emotion, and 'tears of love and joy do not flow from the eyes.' This introduction sets a high standard for both telling and receiving these sacred stories, emphasizing an experience of profound devotion.
