Hearing the stories of the Saints is not so difficult, as the other Sadhanas mentioned above.  They (stories) remove all fear of this Samsar (worldly existence), and take you on to the spiritual path.  So listen to these stories, meditate on them, and assimilate them.  If this is done, not only the Brahmins, but women and lower classes will get pure and holy.

At the end of the last chapter, it was barely stated that the Bhaktas, who obeyed Baba's orders at the time of taking leave, fared well and those, who disobeyed them, suffered many a mishap.

Baba gave certain suggestions or hints, when Bhaktas went to bid good-bye and take leave.  These suggestions had to be followed.  If they were not followed or were departed from, accidents were sure to befall them, who acted contrary to Baba's directions.

One special peculiarity of Shirdi-pilgrimage was this, that none could leave Shirdi, without Baba's permission; and if he did, he invited untold sufferings, but if any one was asked to quit Shirdi, he could stay there no longer.

Ultimately when their merits and demerits both drop down (are got rid of) completely, they get their deliverance and become free.  To put the matter in a nutshell, souls get their births or transmigrations according to their deeds and intelligence (development of their minds).

In this wonderful universe, God has created billions of creatures or beings inhabiting heaven, hell, earth, ocean, sky and other intermediate regions.  Of these, those creatures or souls, whose merits preponderate, go to heaven and live there till they enjoy the fruits of their actions, and when this is done, they are cast down; while those souls, whose sins or demerits preponderate, go down to hell and suffer the consequences of their misdeeds, for so long a time, as they deserve for it.  When their merits and demerits balance each other, they are born on earth as human beings and are given a chance to work out their salvation.
