What benefits are said to come from listening to the stories of Sai Baba?

According to Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, listening to Sai's stories offers profound spiritual benefits. The text describes these narratives not as mere stories, but as the 'very water of self-bliss.' It is said that drinking this water, or engaging with these stories, removes the fatigue and misery of worldly existence and helps one attain a state of happiness. For any soul desiring their own spiritual welfare, respectfully listening to the narration of Sai’s life is presented as a powerful practice. Furthermore, the chapter notes that Sai Baba himself loves his stories and uses them as a means to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
