The introductory verses of Chapter 21 reflect on the profound connection between the storyteller and the listener. The author suggests that a narration is only successful if the listener is deeply moved by it, to the point where the hair on their body stands on end. The chapter states that narrations are considered futile if the listeners are not delighted, if their throats do not choke with emotion, or if tears of love and joy do not flow from their eyes. This sets a high standard for spiritual storytelling, emphasizing that the goal is to evoke a deep, heartfelt, and transformative experience.
