How did Baba react when a devotee's reading of the Bhagavat was interrupted, and what does this show about his priorities?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 18

Chapter 18 provides a personal account that reveals Baba's deep reverence for scripture reading. The narrator recalls that he had paused his reading of the Bhagavat to go hear Baba's stories in the Masjid. However, Baba was not pleased. The text states 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 return and finish reading the remaining part of the book. This incident, described as a "great marvel" in Chapter 18, clearly demonstrates that Baba prioritized the disciplined and complete study of sacred texts over casual storytelling, emphasizing its importance for spiritual progress.
