In Chapter 18, the author shares a personal story where he was reading the Bhagavat but interrupted himself to run to the Masjid, eager to hear Baba's live stories. He had only read half a story before leaving the book aside. The text reveals that this action did not please Baba. Despite the author's desire to be in his physical presence, Baba's mind was focused on the incomplete reading.
