What are the promised benefits of listening to the Sai Satcharitra with a pure heart and respect?

Listening to the Sai Satcharitra with the proper disposition yields profound spiritual benefits. Chapter 48 details that those who listen with a pure heart and good faith will have all their desires fulfilled. Furthermore, the act purifies both the speaker and the listener, causing their sins and merits to be destroyed and leading them to become eternally liberated. For those who listen with great respect and contemplate its meaning, the text promises they will effortlessly and quickly attain devotion to Sai's feet. This devotion, in turn, helps control the senses, making the difficult task of crossing the ocean of worldly existence "easy and certain."
