What are the spiritual benefits of reading or hearing Sai Baba's stories, according to the Satcharitra?

According to Chapter 2, Sai Baba describes numerous spiritual benefits that come from engaging with his stories. He states that by hearing, singing, and contemplating his leelas, devotion to Him is born and ignorance is immediately destroyed. Baba promises that where there is devotion combined with faith, He is always subservient. This practice leads listeners to develop strong faith, which in turn allows self-experience and self-bliss to arise naturally, leading to a state of happiness. Ultimately, the devotee gains knowledge of their true form, and the unperceivable, formless Consciousness manifests, which is described as the entire goal of the Vedas.
