What does Chapter 50 say about the importance of associating with Saints and listening to their stories?

Chapter 50 places great emphasis on the value of associating with saints, a practice known as Satsang. The chapter states that one does not even get the vision of a Saint without merit from previous lives, and that this association removes the three-fold afflictions. The text proclaims, "Blessed, blessed is the company of the righteous," as it leads to discrimination, detachment, and supreme peace. As further explained in Chapter 50, listening to the stories of Saints is also highly beneficial, as "Merit sprouts from hearing the stories" and "not a trace of sin remains." This highlights the transformative power of both the presence and the narratives of holy beings.
