The text suggests writing a biography is a great service, but isn't that just for authors? What about ordinary people who can't write a book?

The preface, as detailed in Chapter 0, presents a nuanced view of service. While it posits that writing the biography of one's Sadguru is the best form of written service for attaining salvation, it doesn't limit service to this single act. The author clarifies that the service also includes personally studying the biography, performing hundreds of readings (Parayans), and conducting weekly recitations (Saptahs). Furthermore, it involves encouraging other devotees to do the same. These acts of study, recitation, and encouragement are accessible to everyone, not just writers, and are considered integral parts of this devotional path that do not interfere with family life.
