What did Sai Baba say would be the effect of His stories on listeners and devotees?

According to Chapter 2, Sai Baba described His stories as a "resting place for the soul" with profound transformative power. He promised that by hearing, singing, and contemplating His stories, devotion would be born and ignorance would be destroyed immediately. He assured that for those who listen with true feeling, faith will arise in their hearts, leading to self-experience and self-bliss. Ultimately, Baba stated that the devotee would gain knowledge of their true form, where the soul and Shiva find harmony, and the formless Consciousness manifests. This, He said, is the entire goal of the Vedas.
