According to the principles outlined in Chapter 0, the act of creating and engaging with a detailed poetic Guru biography offers multi-layered benefits. For the writer, it is a form of direct Guru service. Simultaneously, when other devotees study this work and perform Parayans (devotional readings), the writer accrues the merit of serving God within humanity (Jan-Janardan) and performing a great public service. For the devotees who study the text, this practice helps them achieve the ultimate purpose of their lives, providing a structured path for spiritual progress and connection with the Guru.
