This story involves the author of the text himself. As recounted in Chapter 18, he was in the middle of reading the 'Bhagavat' when he heard a group was going to the Masjid. Eager to hear Sai Baba's stories, he put his book aside and ran to join them. However, Baba was not pleased with the interruption. In Baba's mind, there was 'no satisfaction other than the Bhagavat, which had been left in distress.' For this reason, Baba insisted that the author go back and read the remaining part of the text he had abandoned. The author reflects on this as a great marvel, demonstrating Baba's overflowing love and his powerful insistence on the importance of completing one's spiritual practices.
I heard a story about a devotee who stopped his reading to go see Baba. What was Baba's reaction?
