What are the spiritual benefits of listening to Sai Baba's stories, as described in the second chapter?

Chapter 2 of the Sai Satcharitra details numerous spiritual and psychological benefits of engaging with Sai Baba's stories. The text states that hearing them with attention can make other worldly pleasures seem insignificant, causing hunger and thirst to vanish while bringing inner satisfaction. For those with higher spiritual aspirations, the stories are a path to achieving liberation, mastery of Yoga, and the bliss of Samadhi. Furthermore, as this chapter explains, listening to these accounts is said to break all the bonds of karma, illuminate the intellect, and bestow pure happiness upon all who listen with respect and faith, ultimately helping them cross the worldly ocean.
