What are the benefits of hearing or reading Sai Baba's stories, according to the text?

According to Chapter 2, Sai Baba's stories serve as a "resting place for the soul." He explained that by hearing, singing, and contemplating His stories, devotion to Him is born and ignorance is immediately destroyed. Baba assures us that where there is devotion with faith, He is always subservient. Listening with true feeling cultivates faith, leading to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness. The devotee gains knowledge of their true form, achieving harmony between the soul and Shiva. This process allows the unperceivable, formless Consciousness to manifest.
