How did Sai Baba ensure his devotees completed their sacred readings, even if they got distracted?

Sai Baba had a profound way of ensuring his devotees remained focused on their spiritual practices. Chapter 18 recounts an incident where the narrator, while in the middle of reading the Bhagavat, put the book aside to run to the Masjid, desiring to hear Baba's stories instead. However, Baba's mind was not satisfied with the reading being left incomplete. In a great marvel of his love and omniscience, Baba insisted that the narrator return and read the remaining part of the Bhagavat. This demonstrates Baba's deep concern for the spiritual welfare of his followers and his method of using his own divine influence to guide them back to their assigned duties, showing that he is always close within them, whether they are near or far.
