Why is listening to Sai's stories considered so beneficial for a devotee?

Chapter 36 explains that listening to Sai Baba's stories is profoundly beneficial for spiritual growth. The narration is described not merely as a story but as the "very water of self-bliss," which, when consumed, increases the thirst for devotion. Listening to these succulent stories is said to remove the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness. The chapter states that a fortunate soul desiring their own spiritual welfare should listen respectfully to Sai’s stories. Furthermore, Sai himself loves his own stories and uses the listener and speaker as a pretext to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
