How did Sai Baba's connection to Delhi shape the practice of reading scriptures in Shirdi as described in the text?

The source texts from Chapter 18 do not establish any connection between Delhi and the scriptural readings in Shirdi. The chapter emphasizes that Baba's grace was not confined by geography, stating that 'Whether the devotee is near or in a distant land, Baba is close within.' The practice of reading texts like the Nath Bhagawat was instituted by Baba's direct command in Shirdi. As Chapter 18 reveals, he would give his own power to devotees like Bapusaheb Jog to carry out these tasks, demonstrating that the source of this spiritual tradition was Baba's own divine will, not influences from other locations.
