This incident, recounted by the narrator in Chapter 18, highlights the immense importance Sai Baba placed on completing devotional practices. The narrator, who regularly read the Bhagavat, one day left his reading halfway through a story to rush to the Masjid, eager to hear Baba's live stories. However, Baba perceived this interruption differently. The text states that in Baba's mind, there was 'no satisfaction other than the Bhagavat, which had been left in distress.' Consequently, Baba insisted that the narrator return and finish reading the remaining part of the text. This act is remembered as a 'great marvel' of Baba's, demonstrating his profound love and emphasis on disciplined completion of sacred readings.
