How does the author connect the practice of reading a Guru's biography to ancient traditions like the Parayan of the Vedas?

The author legitimizes the practice of performing Parayans and Saptahs of a Guru's biography by linking it to ancient and revered traditions, as explained in Chapter 0. He states that this practice of devotional reading is very old, dating back to the Vedic era. He draws a direct parallel by citing the ongoing daily Parayans of great Sanskrit works like the Vedas, Bhagavata, and Ramayana, as well as Marathi classics like Shri Dnyaneshwari. While he notes these other texts are primarily knowledge-based rather than biographical, the comparison serves to place the Parayan of a Guru-biography within a long-standing, respected spiritual custom. This connection elevates the act from a simple reading to a time-honored and powerful devotional practice.
