Is there an account of Baba redirecting someone who had stopped reading a scripture prematurely?

Yes, the author himself shares a personal story of being redirected by Baba. In Chapter 18, he recounts that he was in the middle of reading the Bhagavat when he heard a group was going to the Masjid. Eager to hear Baba's stories, he put the book aside and ran to join them. However, Baba was not pleased that the sacred reading had been left incomplete. The text states that Baba felt 'no satisfaction other than the Bhagavat, which had been left in distress.' Consequently, Baba insisted that the author go back and finish reading the remaining part, demonstrating the immense importance he placed on completing one's spiritual duties.
