How does the story of the author interrupting his reading illustrate Sai Baba's method of ensuring spiritual discipline?

The incident described in Chapter 18 provides a powerful example of Baba's omnipresence and his focus on spiritual discipline. The author, while in the middle of reading the Bhagavat, put the book aside to rush to the Masjid, desiring to hear Baba's stories. However, Baba, who was 'close within,' sensed this interruption. In Baba's mind, the completion of the Bhagavat reading was paramount. For this very reason, he insisted and made the author go back and read the remaining part. This 'great marvel' shows that Baba bestowed grace by ensuring devotees completed their assigned spiritual tasks, reinforcing that he was always aware of their actions, whether they were near or far.
