Chapter 18 recounts a personal incident where the author's devotion was redirected by Sai Baba. The author was engrossed in reading the Bhagavat when the group of devotees started heading to the Masjid. Driven by a desire to hear Baba's stories directly, he put the book aside mid-story and ran to join them. However, 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 go back and read the remaining part of the Bhagavat. The author remembers this as a 'great marvel of Baba’s' and a moment of overflowing love, demonstrating the immense importance Baba placed on completing the sacred reading.
What happened when the author of the Satcharita paused his reading of the Bhagavat to go see Baba?
