What does Chapter 47 say about the importance and effect of listening to Sai's stories?

Chapter 47 places great emphasis on the act of listening to Sai's stories. It describes the narrative as "supremely holy" and states that upon hearing it, the bonds of Karma will be severed for all listeners, whether they are wise or ignorant. The chapter suggests that the stories are narrated by Sai himself from within the author's heart. The profound effect of listening, as mentioned in Chapter 47, is that one can forget their bodily consciousness and be overwhelmed by divine love, ultimately achieving the fulfillment of their purpose by focusing on the inner meaning and moral of the tale.
