What are the spiritual benefits promised to those who engage with Sai Baba's stories?

Chapter 2 describes numerous spiritual rewards for those who engage with Sai Baba's stories. By hearing, singing, and contemplating them, devotion is born and ignorance is immediately destroyed. Baba assures that He is subservient to those who approach with devotion and faith. Listening with true feeling is said to generate faith, leading to self-experience, self-bliss, and a lasting state of happiness. The text states that the devotee will gain knowledge of their true form, the unperceivable Consciousness will manifest, and harmony will be found between the soul and Shiva, which is described as the ultimate goal of the Vedas.
