Describe the incident where the author was interrupted during his reading and what it reveals about Baba's priorities.

πŸ“– Chapter 18

Chapter 18 narrates a personal anecdote from the author which beautifully illustrates Sai Baba's priorities. The author was engrossed in reading the Bhagavat when the group decided to go to the Masjid. Wanting to hear Baba's stories, he put his book aside mid-story and ran to join them. However, Baba's mind was not satisfied, as he knew the reading of the sacred text had been left incomplete. In a remarkable display of his inner knowing, Baba insisted that the author return and finish reading the remaining part of the Bhagavat. This incident, which the author recalls with overflowing love, reveals that Baba placed immense value on the disciplined and complete study of sacred scriptures, considering it a crucial path for a devotee's welfare, even over the desire to listen to his own live stories.
