Chapter 18 recounts a personal story where the author was reading the Nath Bhagawat but decided to put the book aside and rush to the Masjid, driven by the desire to hear Sai Baba's live stories. However, Baba's reaction was not one of approval. The text states that in Baba's mind, "there was no satisfaction other than the Bhagavat, which had been left in distress." He strongly insisted that the devotee return and finish the remaining part of the reading. This powerful incident reveals Baba's priorities, showing that he valued a devotee's disciplined engagement with sacred scripture even more than their desire for his physical company or direct storytelling, emphasizing the importance of consistent spiritual practice.
