What are the stated benefits of listening to Sai's life story, and why is it considered a holy act?

Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explicitly states that listening to Sai's stories is a path to spiritual welfare. The act is considered holy because the narratives themselves are described as the 'water of self-bliss' that purifies the ears of the listeners and the mouths of the speakers. The primary benefits mentioned are the removal of 'fatigue and misery of worldly existence' and the attainment of a 'state of happiness.' The text encourages respectful listening to the 'most holy life story of Sai' as a means to achieve these spiritual goals and deepen one's devotion.
