The preface mentions Lord Dnyaneshwar Maharaj. Does it offer a detailed biography of his life and accomplishments?

While the Preface in Chapter 0 prominently features Lord Samarth Sadguru Dnyaneshwar Maharaj, it does not provide a biography of his life. Instead, it quotes four verses from his work, the Shri Dnyaneshwari, to support its main argument about Guru service. These verses emphasize serving saints with one's entire being to attain knowledge. The text uses his teachings as a scriptural authority to explain the path to enlightenment, rather than detailing his personal history, which is consistent with its stated purpose of defining the most effective form of spiritual service.
