Describe the incident where the narrator interrupted his reading of the Bhagavat and what Baba's reaction revealed.

📖 Chapter 18

In a notable incident recounted in Chapter 18, the narrator was in the middle of reading a story from the Bhagavat when the desire to hear Baba’s stories prompted him to put the book aside and run to the Masjid. However, this action did not please Baba. The text reveals that in Baba's mind, there was "no satisfaction other than the Bhagavat, which had been left in distress." Consequently, Baba insisted that the narrator go back and finish reading the remaining part of the sacred text. This reaction is highlighted as a great marvel, demonstrating Baba's profound reverence for the scriptures and revealing that he prioritized the completion of the reading even over the narrator's desire to be in his physical presence.
