How were specific texts like the Jnaneshwari and Nath Bhagawat used in the daily spiritual life of Shirdi as instructed by Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 18

As per the routine described in Chapter 18, Sai Baba made the reading of specific sacred texts a central part of the devotees' day. He designated Bapusaheb Jog to conduct a daily Parayana, or devotional reading, in Sathe's Wada. The two main books used for this practice were the Jnaneshwari, also known as Bhavartha Deepika, which is a commentary on the Gita, and the Nath Bhagawat, which is the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat. Baba considered these scriptures the essence of the Bhagavat religion and a platform for the highest spiritual goal. He would even actively send visitors from the Masjid to the Wada specifically to listen to these readings.
