How did Baba react when a devotee prioritized hearing his stories over completing a scripture reading, and what does this show about his values?

πŸ“– Chapter 18

Chapter 18 recounts a personal story where the narrator, while in the middle of reading the Bhagavat, put the book aside and ran to the Masjid, eager to hear Baba's direct stories. However, this did not please Baba. The text states that in Baba's mind, there was 'no satisfaction other than the Bhagavat, which had been left in distress.' For this very reason, Baba insisted that the narrator go back and read the remaining part of the scripture. This incident is described as a 'great marvel' that demonstrates Baba's deep love for the sacred texts and underscores the immense importance he placed on completing one's assigned spiritual duties and disciplines.
