What are the described benefits of associating with, serving, and being devoted to saints?

Chapter 18 details numerous benefits that arise from a connection with saints. Association with a saint is said to make a restless mind steady and attach it firmly to the feet of Hari. By their grace, worldly desires can vanish, and one might find themselves speaking of knowledge even in their sleep. The text beautifully states that wisdom and renunciation, like "twin fruits," come into one's hands through the power of their grace. Furthermore, service to saints and love for them allows the Guru to act as a wish-fulfilling tree, removing all exhaustion. Listening to their stories and bowing at their feet is said to wash away sins, leading to the attainment of one's desired goals.
