Why are the stories of Sai Baba considered so important for a devotee's spiritual journey?

According to Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the stories of Sai Baba are profoundly important because they are described as more than just narratives; they are "the very water of self-bliss." The text explains that listening respectfully to these stories removes the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness and spiritual welfare. Sai Baba himself is said to love his own stories very much, and he uses the act of listening and speaking about them as a pretext to fulfill the desires of his devotees, making the stories a direct channel for his grace.
