The author recounts a personal incident in Chapter 18 that highlights Sai Baba's emphasis on completing one's spiritual duties. The author was engrossed in reading the 'Bhagavat' when the group started heading to the Masjid. Desiring to hear Baba's stories, he put his book aside midway through a story and ran to join them. However, he notes that in Baba's mind, there was 'no satisfaction other than the Bhagavat, which had been left in distress.' For this very reason, Baba insisted that the author return and read the remaining part of the text he had abandoned. The author remembers this as a 'great marvel of Baba's' and an expression of overflowing love, demonstrating that Baba prioritized the completion of the sacred reading over his own storytelling.
What happened when the author of the Satcharita himself got distracted from his reading of the Bhagavat?
