The source mentions several important spiritual books. Could you elaborate on which texts were central to the daily readings in Shirdi and what their significance was?

The daily spiritual practice in Shirdi centered on two main books, as highlighted in Chapter 18. These were the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat. Specifically, the texts read were the Jnaneshwari, also known by its formal name Bhavartha Deepika, which is Jnandeva's famous commentary on the Gita, and the beautiful eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat, which is a divinely inspired work by Eknath also called the Nath Bhagawat or Uddhava Gita. The source describes this latter book as containing the loving speech of Nath (Lord Krishna) to Uddhava, considering it even better than the dialogue with Arjuna. Baba considered these texts essential for the salvation of souls.
