What is the significance of listening to Sai Baba's stories as mentioned at the beginning of Chapter 36?

Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra emphasizes the profound significance of listening to Sai's stories. It states that these narratives are not just mere tales but are like "the very water of self-bliss," which, when consumed, intensifies the devotee's thirst for devotion. The text further explains that listening to these succulent stories brings delight, removes the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, and helps one attain a state of happiness. For any fortunate soul seeking their own spiritual welfare, respectfully listening to the narration of Sai’s stories is highly recommended, as mentioned in Chapter 36.
