What are the primary benefits promised in Chapter 3 for those who listen to the stories of Sai?

Chapter 3 outlines several significant benefits for those who listen to the Guru's stories. It is presented as an easy means to attain the supreme spiritual goal (Paramartha). Listening is said to burn the sins of devotees, including the five great sins, and free them from the distress caused by the pursuit of endless sensory pleasures. The text also promises liberation from worldly bonds, stating that by listening, the 'wraps' of worldly existence will loosen and the original self will be regained. As Chapter 3 describes, this devotional practice calms the soul, allows meditation on Sai to happen naturally, and ultimately fosters devotion and detachment.
