No, not all written works are considered equally suitable for fostering community practice. Chapter 0 makes a clear distinction, noting that while poets like Shri Dasganu Maharaj wrote about saints, the biographies within his larger works were often too brief, taking up only two or three pages. Such short accounts are not considered comprehensive enough for a dedicated Parayan or Saptah. For building a strong community practice, the text emphasizes the need for detailed, poetic, and comprehensive works specifically designed for study and devotional readings, citing the Shri Sai Satcharita as a prime example of a suitable text.
