What is the significance of performing a Parayan of a work like the Shri Sai Satcharita, and how does this benefit the devotee?

Performing a Parayan or Saptah of a detailed Guru biography is presented as a powerful form of service. As explained in Chapter 0, the Sadguru accepts service from devotees through the study of biographies written about them. By engaging in a Parayan of an inspirational work like Shri Sai Satcharita, devotees are not only studying the Guru's life but are actively performing a service that is accepted by the Guru. This engagement, in turn, helps the devotees achieve the purpose of their lives and serves as a profound means to foster spiritual growth.
