What was the author's desire for how devotees should interact with the Shri Sai Satcharita, and what are the promised benefits of doing so?

The author, Annasaheb Dabholkar, had a great desire that the Shri Sai Satcharita be deeply integrated into the daily spiritual lives of devotees. As detailed in the Preface found in Chapter 0, he hoped it would be studied and recited daily through 'hundreds of Parayans and Saptahs,' similar to the revered Guru Charitra. Devotees are encouraged to consume this book like a 'sweet, spiritual treat' with genuine faith and heart. The promised benefit of this practice is profound; by engaging in this 'sacrifice of knowledge' (Jnana-yagna), seekers satisfy Shri Sai-Paramatma and are assured that after the death of the body, they will 'undoubtedly become one with the six-fold glorious Shri Sai-Paramatma.'
