I heard a story about someone interrupting their reading to see Baba. What happened and what does it show about Baba's priorities?

Yes, the narrator recounts such an incident in Chapter 18. While the narrator was in the middle of reading a story from the Bhagavat, the group started heading to the Masjid, and the narrator, desiring to hear Baba's stories, put the book aside and ran to join them. However, Baba was not pleased. The text states that 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 narrator go back and read the remaining part of the scripture. This event is described as a "great marvel" that reveals Baba's priorities, demonstrating the immense importance he placed on the completion of devotional readings, valuing it even over devotees gathering to hear him speak directly.
