Chapter 18 details a personal story where the author was engaged in his daily reading of the Bhagavat. Having read half a story, he heard that devotees were going to the Masjid and, desiring to hear Baba's live stories, he put the book aside and ran there. However, this action revealed Baba's own priorities. As Chapter 18 explains, Baba found no satisfaction in the author's presence while the sacred reading was left incomplete. For this very reason, Baba insisted that the author return to his reading and finish the remaining part of the Bhagavat. This incident is presented as a great marvel, demonstrating the immense importance Baba placed on the disciplined completion of scriptural study, suggesting it was as crucial as being in His physical presence.
Can you recount the incident where the author was interrupted during his reading and what this reveals about Baba's priorities?
