In Shirdi, Sai Baba placed great importance on the daily reading of specific divinely inspired books. The two main texts mentioned in Chapter 18 are the Jnaneshwari, also known as Bhavartha Deepika, and the Nath Bhagawat, specifically the eleventh Skandha. Baba assigned the task of reading these scriptures to his devoted disciple Bapusaheb Jog, also referred to as Sakharam Hari Jog. This reading took place in Sathe’s Wada, and it became a valuable opportunity for the spiritual welfare of the many devotees who would come to listen.
