How did Sai Baba use spiritual texts like the Jnaneshwari and Nath Bhagavat for the benefit of his devotees in Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 18

Sai Baba placed great importance on the daily reading of sacred texts for the spiritual salvation of his followers. As detailed in Chapter 18, he assigned Bapusaheb Jog the task of reading aloud from books like the Jnaneshwari (also known as Bhavartha Deepika) and the Nath Bhagavat in Sathe’s Wada. Baba would actively send devotees who came to see him at the Masjid to the Wada to listen to these readings. This created a structured opportunity for many people to immerse themselves in the teachings. Baba's method was profound; he would sometimes tell a short story, and when the listener went to hear the reading, they would find the very same story in the text, confirming Baba's omniscience and providing a deeper understanding. This practice highlights Baba's skill in bestowing grace and his desire for the welfare of his devotees through various means.
