Who is eligible to benefit from listening to the Guru's stories as described in Chapter 3? Is this path exclusive to certain groups?

Chapter 3 strongly emphasizes the universal nature of listening to the Guru's stories as a means for spiritual progress. The text explicitly states that this path is not exclusive to any particular group. It is described as 'one means for all,' and the author clarifies this by listing various social strata: 'For all four castes, from Brahmins onwards, the means is listening to the stories of the Guru. Whether woman, Shudra, or of low caste, it is one means for all.' This teaching directly counters any notion of exclusivity, presenting the path of devotion through listening as an accessible and powerful method for anyone, regardless of their social standing or background.
