According to the account in Chapter 18, Sai Baba highly valued the reading of specific divinely inspired books for the salvation of souls. The primary texts mentioned are the Nath Bhagawat, which contains the dialogue between Krishna and Uddhava, and the Bhagavad Gita, specifically the commentary known as Jnaneshwari or Bhavartha Deepika. Baba assigned this important daily task to his devoted disciple, Bapusaheb Jog. Every day, Jog would seek Baba's permission and then conduct the reading, or Parayana, in Sathe’s Wada, and Baba would often send other devotees there to listen for their spiritual welfare.
