Chapter 0 outlines that a Sadguru accepts service through books in two ways: by creating great works themselves, or by having their biographies written by devotees. The Shri Sai Satcharita is an example of the second method. As detailed in Chapter 0, Sadguru Sai Baba had his biography written through his devotee, Shri Govind Raghunath alias Annasaheb Dabholkar. He then accepts service from the community of devotees in the form of their study and performance of Parayans of this work. This collective reading allows the entire congregation to serve Sai Baba and grow together spiritually, fulfilling the Sadguru's purpose for the book.
The preface describes two ways a Sadguru receives service through books. How does this apply to the Shri Sai Satcharita and its community?
