Why does the Shri Sai Satcharitra encourage devotees to listen to Sai's stories?

According to Chapter 36, listening to Sai Baba's stories is highly recommended for achieving one's own spiritual welfare. The text describes these narratives not as mere tales, but as "the very water of self-bliss" that intensifies the thirst for devotion. It is stated that these succulent stories have the power to remove the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, ultimately leading to a state of happiness. Chapter 36 posits that any fortunate soul who desires spiritual progress should listen respectfully to the narrations of Sai's life, as they purify the ears of the listeners and the mouths of the speakers.
