What does Sai Baba say are the benefits of listening to and contemplating his stories?

According to Chapter 2, Sai Baba describes numerous spiritual benefits that arise from engaging with his stories. He states that by hearing, singing, and contemplating them, devotion to him is born and ignorance is immediately destroyed. This process fosters faith, and Baba assures that he is always subservient where there is devotion with faith. Listeners will experience self-bliss, attain a state of happiness, and gain knowledge of their true form, leading to a harmony between the soul and Shiva. Ultimately, Baba explains that this is the entire goal of the Vedas.
