Based on the provided text, what was the deeper spiritual significance of the daily readings of texts like the Nath Bhagawat and Jnaneshwari in Shirdi?

The daily readings in Shirdi, as detailed in Chapter 18, held a profound spiritual significance beyond mere ritual. Sai Baba viewed texts like the Nath Bhagawat and the Jnaneshwari as divinely inspired channels for attaining God-realization. He taught that one did not need to retreat into a forest, as God could be manifested through the faithful reading of these scriptures. The significance was further deepened by Baba's method of using the readings to confirm His own teachings. When devotees found that a story told by Baba was simultaneously being read in the Wada, it created a powerful realization that Eknath's or Jnaneshwar's speech was essentially a 'translation of Baba’s story,' reinforcing the idea that Baba was the living embodiment of the wisdom contained in those sacred books.
