What is the stated purpose of sharing these stories in the Sai Satcharitra, based on the introduction to Damu Anna's tale?

Based on the introductory verses in Chapter 25, the purpose of sharing these stories is multifaceted and deeply spiritual. The author states that by establishing one-pointed faith, Sai wards off all misfortunes, grants desired objects, and removes suffering for His devotees. The stories are intended to show Sai's immense love and demonstrate how the "Guru-Mother is an 'Ocean of Mercy.'" Listening to these holy stories with a focused mind is said to burn away the sins of the Kali age and fill the listener's heart with joy. Ultimately, the nectar-like tales are meant to provide solace and help devotees ward off the heat of worldly existence.
