Chapter 0 draws a clear distinction between different types of biographical writing and their spiritual efficacy. Writing biographies of worldly Gurus or writers is described as a worldly service, limited by time and space and rooted in some self-interest, which therefore does not yield spiritual fruits. A higher form of service is writing the biographies of many saints, which does provide spiritual benefits but is still considered 'one-sided or partial.' The ultimate spiritual goal, according to the text, is most certainly achieved by focusing on writing the biography of one's own Sadguru, as this dedicated and selfless act is what leads to the fruit of salvation.
The text discusses different types of biographical writing. Can you elaborate on the spiritual outcomes of writing about worldly figures versus saints?
