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

Chapter 36 of the Sai Satcharitra places immense importance on the act of listening to Sai's life stories. It posits that these narrations are far more than simple tales; they are likened to drinking the "water of self-bliss." According to the chapter, engaging with these stories intensely increases one's thirst for devotion. The text states that listening to a "succulent story" like Sai's removes the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness. Chapter 36 further asserts that any fortunate soul who desires their own spiritual welfare should listen respectfully to these narrations, as Sai himself loves his stories and uses the listener and speaker as a pretext to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
