What spiritual benefits did Sai Baba say would come from reading and contemplating his stories?

According to the teachings found in Chapter 2, Sai Baba explained that engaging with his stories provides profound spiritual benefits. He described the collection of stories as a "resting place for the soul." By hearing, singing, and contemplating these narratives, a devotee's devotion would deepen, and their ignorance would be destroyed. Baba assured that faith and devotion would make him subservient to the devotee. This spiritual practice is said to lead to self-experience, natural bliss, and a state of happiness. Ultimately, the devotee gains knowledge of their true self, achieving a harmonious union between the individual soul and the divine, which is the entire goal of the Vedas.
