What is the ultimate goal of reading the Satcharitra, according to the book itself, especially if it's not to learn about every single saint?

πŸ“– Chapter 50

The text clarifies its ultimate purpose in a section of Chapter 50 titled 'The Prayer for Devotion and Unity.' It explicitly states that the desire is not for the four types of liberation, such as Salokata. Instead, the supreme attainment is to have 'steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached.' The text asks rhetorically, 'We were never bound in the first place; what connection do we have with liberation?' The primary goal is the 'awakening of devotion to the Saint,' because 'by that alone the heart becomes pure.' Therefore, the purpose is not encyclopedic knowledge of all saints but the cultivation of a pure, unwavering devotion to Sai, which is seen as the highest achievement a reader can gain from the book.
