What is the significance of performing Parayans of Guru biographies for building a spiritual community?

The study and performance of Parayans, or devotional readings of a Guru's biography, are highly significant for community building. As detailed in Chapter 0, when a writer creates a comprehensive Guru biography, they perform a great service. When other devotees join in by studying and performing Parayans of that same work, the writer gains the merit of serving God in humanity (Jan-Janardan). This shared activity allows the entire congregation of devotees to achieve the purpose of their lives, fostering a strong communal bond centered on the Guru's life and teachings.
