What is the spiritual significance of reading holy texts like the Ramayana for a devotee of Sai Baba?

According to the teachings found in Chapter 27, the act of reading spiritual texts is profoundly significant. Whether a devotee is reading the Ramayana, the Bhagavata, or another holy book, the experience is such that Sai Baba himself is seen in the stories and characters. It feels as though Sai has appeared in the forms described within the books. For both the listener and the speaker, they see Sai's idol before them during the reading. Furthermore, the scriptures state that offering books to a Guru or donating them brings welfare to the giver, reinforcing the value of engaging with these sacred texts.
