Why do saints take birth on earth, and what benefit is there in hearing their stories, according to Chapter 23?

According to Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra, the incarnations of saints occur on earth out of benevolence and as an act of grace from the Almighty. Their primary purpose is the salvation of 'dull-witted souls.' The chapter suggests that a person must have accumulated merit (Punya) to even develop the desire to hear the stories of these saints. The benefit of doing so is immense; it is stated that listening to these stories with faith and devotion helps to calm calamities like sorrow and delusion. By engaging with these narratives, the devotee is able to quickly attain peace of mind and contentment.
