How can the practice of 'Parayan' help in building a community around Sai Baba's teachings?

The practice of Parayan, or the devotional reading of a Guru's biography, serves as a powerful community-building tool. As Chapter 0 explains, when a writer studies and performs a Parayan of a detailed biography, they are performing Guru service. When other devotees also join in these studies and Parayans, the writer gains the merit of serving 'God in humanity' (Jan-Janardan) and performing public service. This shared devotional activity unites the congregation, allowing all participating devotees to collectively achieve the purpose of their lives, thereby strengthening the community's spiritual bonds.
