The author describes a time when he abandoned his reading to see Baba. What happened, and what does this incident reveal about Baba's priorities?

The author recounts a personal experience in Chapter 18 where he was engrossed in reading the Bhagavat. When he heard a group was going to the Masjid to hear Baba's stories, he put his book aside mid-story and ran to join them. However, Baba was not pleased that the sacred reading had been left incomplete. The author calls it a "great marvel" that Baba insisted he go back and finish reading the remaining part of the Bhagavat. This incident powerfully illustrates Baba's priorities, showing that he valued the disciplined and complete reading of holy scriptures even more than he valued devotees gathering to listen to his own live stories, emphasizing the immense spiritual importance of the texts.
