Based on the texts, what was Sai Baba's opinion on modern education versus traditional scripture reading?

The provided passages from Chapter 18 do not contain any information regarding Sai Baba's opinions on modern education. The text's exclusive focus is on his deep reverence for traditional scriptures and his methods for encouraging their study among his followers. As detailed in Chapter 18, Baba would have devotees read from the Jnaneshwari and the Nath Bhagawat, sometimes sending people from the Masjid specifically to listen. This shows the high value he placed on these texts for spiritual salvation, but it does not offer a comparison to or a critique of other forms of education.
