What spiritual benefits are said to come from hearing Sai Baba's stories, as described in Chapter 2?

Chapter 2 describes numerous spiritual benefits that arise from listening to Sai Baba's stories. It claims that hearing them with attention makes other worldly pleasures "seem like grass." The stories are said to make hunger and thirst vanish while providing inner satisfaction. For those who desire liberation, mastery of Yoga, or the bliss of Samadhi, listening to these stories is the path to achieving them. Furthermore, as detailed in Chapter 2, these narratives break the bonds of karma for the listener, illuminate the intellect, and give pure happiness to all, ultimately helping one cross the worldly ocean with faith and respect.
