As detailed in Chapter 0, writing a Guru's biography is a profound form of Guru service. The Sadguru accepts service by having his biographies written through his devotees. When a writer undertakes this task, they are performing a direct service to their Guru. Furthermore, this act has a ripple effect on the community. When other devotees study and perform Parayans of the biography you have written, you, the writer, gain the merit of serving God in humanity (Jan-Janardan) and performing public service. This encourages a shared spiritual journey and helps other devotees achieve the purpose of their lives through their engagement with the text.
As a writer and devotee, how does creating a biography of a Guru count as service, and what is the benefit to the community?
