The verses from the Dnyaneshwari quoted in the Preface (Chapter 0) serve to elevate the act of reading and sharing the Shri Sai Satcharita into a powerful spiritual practice. The core message is that engaging with this sacred dialogue is a form of 'sacrifice of knowledge' (Jnana-yagna). By offering the 'ignorance of the ego as an oblation' through faithful reading, a devotee satisfies the Supreme Soul. Furthermore, the act of bringing this knowledge to other devotees is compared to the profound love of a mother for her child. The ultimate promise, as stated in these verses from Chapter 18 of the Dnyaneshwari, is that one who respectfully shares this wisdom 'becomes one with Me' after leaving the body, thus achieving ultimate union with the divine.
