Explain the concept of serving a Guru through books and how this practice benefits the wider community of devotees.

The Sadguru accepts service from devotees through books in two distinct ways. The first is by creating profound spiritual works themselves, and the second is by inspiring devotees to write their biographies. As described in Chapter 0, the community then engages with these biographies through dedicated study and devotional readings known as Parayans. This act is considered a form of Guru service for both the writer and the readers. When other devotees also study the work, the writer gains the merit of serving 'God in humanity' (Jan-Janardan) and public service, while the entire congregation of devotees is guided toward achieving the purpose of their lives, creating a powerful spiritual community.
