How does the act of studying sacred texts like the Shri Sai Satcharita contribute to both individual spiritual growth and the wider community?

Studying sacred texts serves a dual purpose, benefiting both the individual and the community. According to Chapter 0, when a devotee studies or performs a Parayan of a detailed Guru biography, they are performing Guru service. Simultaneously, when other devotees also engage in this study, the participants gain the merit of serving God in humanity (Jan-Janardan) and performing public service. The Sadguru accepts this service through books written by devotees, like the Shri Sai Satcharita, allowing the entire congregation to achieve the purpose of their lives through this shared devotional activity.
