What is the significance of listening to Sai Baba's stories as described in the introduction of Chapter 36?

According to the introduction of Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, listening to Sai's stories is a profound spiritual practice. The text describes this act as drinking "the very water of self-bliss," which paradoxically increases the thirst for devotion rather than quenching it. As detailed in this chapter, engaging with these sacred narratives is believed to remove the fatigue and misery associated with worldly existence, ultimately leading to a state of happiness. The chapter posits that for any soul fortunate enough to desire their own spiritual welfare, respectfully listening to the narration of Sai’s stories is a direct and powerful method for achieving that goal.
