The preface makes a clear distinction between worldly and spiritual service. Writing biographies of great worldly figures like politicians or historians is considered a worldly service. While it may have educational value, it is limited by time and space and is often rooted in self-interest, thus not yielding spiritual fruits. In contrast, as detailed in Chapter 0, writing the biography of a saint or one's Sadguru is a form of spiritual service. The highest form of this service, writing about one's own Sadguru, is said to grant the ultimate fruit of salvation.
How does the preface distinguish between worldly and spiritual Guru service, particularly in the context of writing biographies?
