What does the beginning of Chapter 36 say about the power and purpose of listening to Sai Baba's stories?

The introduction to Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra describes the narration of Sai's stories as a profound spiritual practice. It states that the stories are not just tales but are "the very water of self-bliss" and that drinking this water, meaning listening to the stories, intensely increases one's thirst for devotion. The chapter claims that listening to these succulent stories removes the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness. It also mentions that Sai Baba himself loves his own stories and uses the listener and speaker as a pretext to fulfill the desires of his devotees, purifying both in the process.
