What specific benefits does Chapter 36 promise to devotees who listen to Sai's stories, and what is the supposed mechanism behind this?

The text in Chapter 36 makes significant promises to those who engage with Sai Baba's stories. It claims the stories are not just narratives but the 'very water of self-bliss,' and listening to them 'removes the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, and a state of happiness is attained.' The mechanism described is spiritual in nature; the act of respectfully listening to the 'most holy life story of Sai' purifies the listener. The text further explains that Sai Baba 'loves his own stories very much' and uses them as a pretext to 'fulfill the desires of the devotees' and provide them with his grace. It also states that for those who 'grasp him through meditation or sing loving hymns to him, he never lets them lack anything; he protects them completely.'
