What spiritual benefits did Sai Baba say people would get from reading or listening to his stories?

According to Chapter 2, Sai Baba detailed numerous spiritual benefits for those who engage with his stories. He promised that through "hearing, singing, and contemplating my stories, Devotion to Me will be born and ignorance will be destroyed immediately." He emphasized that faith is paramount, as he is always subservient to devotees with true faith. Baba stated that listeners would naturally attain "self-experience and self-bliss," leading to a state of happiness. The ultimate goal, he explained, is that the devotee will gain knowledge of their true form, the unperceivable Consciousness will manifest, and the soul and Shiva will find harmony, which is the entire aim of the Vedas.
