How does the study of texts like the Shri Sai Satcharita foster community and serve the Guru?

The study of detailed biographies serves the Sadguru and builds community in a profound way. Chapter 0 describes how a Sadguru accepts service through books written by devotees. When other devotees study and perform Parayans of a work like the Shri Sai Satcharita, the writer gains the merit of serving God in humanity (Jan-Janardan), and the participating devotees also move towards achieving the purpose of their lives. This shared spiritual activity creates a congregation of devotees bound by collective study and devotion, which is a form of service the Guru accepts.
