What are the benefits of listening to Sai's stories, according to the beginning of Chapter 36?

According to Chapter 36, listening to the stories of Sai Baba offers profound spiritual benefits. The text describes these narratives not merely as stories, but as "the very water of self-bliss" which, when consumed, paradoxically increases the thirst for devotion. It is stated that these succulent stories remove the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, leading the listener to a state of happiness. For any fortunate soul seeking their own spiritual welfare, listening respectfully to the narration of Sai’s life is highly recommended, as it purifies the ears of the listeners and the mouths of the speakers.
