Sai Baba employed a unique and profound method of teaching through sacred texts. As detailed in Chapter 18, he assigned Bapusaheb Jog to conduct daily readings of books like the Jnaneshwari and Nath Bhagawat in Sathe's Wada. Baba would then send devotees who came to visit him to listen to these readings. The truly remarkable part of his instruction was when he would tell a devotee a short story and then, upon sending them to the reading, the devotee would find that the exact same story was being recited from the book. This provided immediate confirmation and a deeper understanding of the lesson, showing that the holy books were essentially a translation of Baba's own words.
