What are the spiritual benefits of reading or listening to Sai Baba's stories?

According to Chapter 2, the spiritual benefits of engaging with Sai Baba's stories are profound and transformative. Sai explains that by hearing, singing, and contemplating his stories, devotion to Him will be born and ignorance will be destroyed immediately. This practice engenders true faith in the hearts of listeners, which in turn leads to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of lasting happiness. He states that the devotee will gain knowledge of their true form, and the unperceivable, formless Consciousness will manifest, fulfilling the entire goal of the Vedas.
