What benefits did Sai Baba say would come from engaging with his stories?

Sai Baba described numerous spiritual benefits that would arise from engaging with his stories. As detailed in Chapter 2, He explained that by hearing, singing, and contemplating these narratives, devotion to Him would be born and ignorance would be destroyed. He assured that where there is devotion with faith, He is always subservient. Furthermore, listening with true feeling would cultivate faith, leading to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness. Baba stated that the devotee would gain knowledge of their true form, and "the unperceivable, formless, and dense Consciousness will manifest." He equated this outcome with the entire goal of the Vedas, enriching the devotee's soul.
