What does Sai Baba say are the benefits of hearing his stories, and what is the main condition for receiving them?

In the passages from Chapter 2, Sai Baba details numerous benefits of engaging with his stories. He states that by hearing, singing, and contemplating them, devotion will be born and ignorance will be destroyed immediately. This process leads to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness. The ultimate goal is for the devotee to gain knowledge of their true form. However, all these benefits are contingent on a crucial condition: faith. Sai Baba says, "Where there is devotion with faith, I am always subservient," but he is "otherwise unattainable." Therefore, approaching the stories with true feeling and faith is the key to unlocking their transformative power.
