What does the narrator's personal experience with interrupting his reading of the Bhagavat reveal about Sai Baba's priorities?

The narrator's personal account in Chapter 18 reveals the supreme importance Sai Baba placed on the disciplined reading of holy scriptures. The narrator had been reading the Bhagavat when he decided to put the book aside midway to go to the Masjid, eager to hear Baba's stories. However, he found that Baba was not pleased, noting 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 go back and finish reading the remaining part. This incident powerfully illustrates that Baba prioritized the completion of the sacred reading even over a devotee's desire for his immediate physical company, highlighting the deep spiritual value of the practice.
