A personal incident is recounted where the narrator's reading was interrupted. What happened, and what does this event reveal about Sai Baba's spiritual priorities?

As recounted in Chapter 18, the narrator was engrossed in reading the Bhagavat when he decided to put the book aside and rush to the Masjid, eager to hear Baba's stories. However, the text reveals that in Baba’s mind, there was 'no satisfaction other than the Bhagavat, which had been left in distress.' Consequently, Baba insisted that the narrator go back and finish reading the remaining part of the holy book. This incident powerfully reveals Baba's priorities: he placed immense value on the disciplined practice of reading sacred scriptures for spiritual advancement, considering it a crucial activity for a devotee's salvation, even over the allure of listening to His own live tales.
