Why is listening to Sai Baba's stories considered so important in Chapter 36?

According to Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, listening to Sai's stories is profoundly important for spiritual well-being. The text describes these narratives not as mere tales but as "the very water of self-bliss" which intensifies the listener's thirst for devotion. The chapter explains that these succulent stories delight the listener, effectively removing the fatigue and misery associated with worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness. It is suggested that any fortunate soul seeking their own spiritual welfare should respectfully listen to these narrations. As Chapter 36 further clarifies, Sai Baba himself loves his own stories and uses the listener and speaker as a pretext to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
