Who is the ideal audience for Sai's stories, and what benefits are they promised?

According to Chapter 36, the ideal audience is any "fortunate soul" who seeks their own spiritual welfare and is willing to listen respectfully. These listeners are promised profound spiritual rewards. The stories are described as the "very water of self-bliss," capable of removing the fatigue and misery of worldly life and inducing a state of happiness. The chapter further states that for those who grasp Baba through meditation or sing loving hymns, he ensures they never lack anything and are completely protected. Ultimately, the listener becomes a participant in a divine play, used as a pretext by Sai to fulfill devotees' desires.
