Who is eligible to benefit from listening to the stories of the Guru according to the teachings in Chapter 3?

Chapter 3 makes it unequivocally clear that the benefits of listening to the Guru's stories are universal and available to everyone, without exception. The text explicitly states that for all four castes, from Brahmins onwards, as well as for any woman, Shudra, or person of low caste, it is "one means for all." This inclusive message is a central theme of the chapter, highlighting that spiritual attainment through this path is not restricted by social status, gender, or birth. As Chapter 3 points out, anyone with "merit in his pocket," meaning a sincere desire, will be drawn to listen to these transformative stories.
