What is the significance of reading spiritual texts like the Ramayana for a devotee of Sai Baba?

For a devotee of Sai Baba, reading spiritual texts like the Ramayana or Bhagavata is a profound devotional practice intended to invoke his presence. As detailed in Chapter 27, the goal is that when reading the stories of Rama, Krishna, and others, 'Sai alone is seen before and behind.' It is believed that in the forms and stories within these books, Sai himself has appeared. This practice transforms reading into a direct experience where listeners and speakers 'daily see Sai's idol in front of them,' deepening their connection and finding rest in worldly life through this path of devotion.
