The text mentions different types of biographical writing. Can you compare writing about worldly Gurus versus writing about saints, and explain their respective spiritual benefits?

πŸ“– Chapter 0

The preface distinguishes between writing biographies of worldly Gurus and those of saints. Writing about worldly figures like parents and writers is considered a form of Guru service and public service, but its fruits are worldly, limited by time and space, and do not yield spiritual benefits because they are often rooted in self-interest. In contrast, as Chapter 0 clarifies, writing the biographies of many saints is a form of Guru service that does yield spiritual fruits. However, this is still considered a partial or one-sided service, and it is deemed difficult to attain the ultimate spiritual goal through this method alone.
