What spiritual benefits are promised to those who listen to and contemplate Sai Baba's stories with true faith?

As detailed in Chapter 2, engaging with Sai Baba's stories with sincere devotion yields profound spiritual rewards. The text promises that through "hearing, singing, and contemplating my stories, Devotion to Me will be born and ignorance will be destroyed immediately." This process cultivates genuine faith, which in turn leads to direct experience of the divine. Listeners are told that "Self-experience and self-bliss will come naturally," allowing them to attain a state of happiness and gain knowledge of their true form. Ultimately, this practice leads to a harmony between the soul and Shiva, where the "unperceivable, formless, and dense Consciousness will manifest."
