What are the benefits of listening to or sharing the stories of Sai Baba's life?

Chapter 17 highlights significant spiritual and material benefits associated with engaging with Sai Baba's life story. It is stated that by listening to these stories with great respect, "the poverty of the listener and the speaker is destroyed, and the bad days of all vanish." These narratives, filled with Baba's extraordinary and unfathomable deeds, are meant to inspire awe and humility, comforting those who hear them. The text emphasizes that the opportunity to hear these stories is a "free gift" of happiness that helps one contend with the metaphorical "whirlpool" of worldly life.
