How does the text explain the connection between faith, devotion, and attaining self-bliss?

The text from Chapter 2 outlines a clear spiritual progression. It begins with the act of engaging with Sai's stories through hearing, singing, and contemplation. This repeated engagement is what gives birth to devotion and destroys ignorance. The text explicitly states that where there is 'devotion with faith,' Sai Baba is 'always subservient' and otherwise unattainable. Listening to these stories with 'true feeling' is the catalyst that causes faith to arise in the heart. Once faith is established, the text asserts that 'self-experience and self-bliss will come naturally,' leading to a state of happiness. This process culminates in the devotee gaining knowledge of their true form, achieving a profound inner harmony.
