Based on the events with Sathe, what does Baba teach about the power of reading sacred scriptures?

Through His interaction with Sathe, Baba emphasizes the profound spiritual efficacy of devotionally reading sacred texts. When Kakasaheb Dixit asks for clarification on Sathe's behalf, Baba doesn't just interpret the dream but prescribes an action: another reading. Baba's explanation, recorded in Chapter 18, is that the Parayana (disciplined reading) of a book like the Guru Charitra is a powerful tool for spiritual growth. He states that it purifies the devotee, achieves welfare, pleases God, and serves as a means to break free from the bonds of worldly existence, thereby endorsing it as a significant spiritual practice.
