If someone wants to perform the highest form of Guru service through writing, what practical advice does the text offer regarding the format and devotional practice?

πŸ“– Chapter 0

For those undertaking the highest form of Guru service, which is writing the biography of one's Sadguru, Chapter 0 provides specific recommendations. It suggests that for the purpose of study, recitation (Parayan), and weekly readings (Saptah), detailed poetic biographies are the most suitable format. Prose is considered difficult to memorize, and the text notes there is no tradition of performing Parayans with prose biographies. The practice must be done with a firm resolve, pure heart, excellent faith, selfless love, and unwavering devotion. This service of body and speech is also noted to be compatible with maintaining family life and prosperity, meaning it does not require abandoning worldly duties.
