According to Chapter 18, Sai Baba placed immense importance on the daily devotional reading (Parayana) of specific sacred texts. The two main books mentioned are the Nath Bhagawat, which is the beautiful eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat containing the dialogue between Krishna and Uddhava, and the Jnaneshwari, a commentary on the Gita also known as Bhavartha Deepika. Baba assigned the sacred duty of conducting these daily readings to his devotee, Bapusaheb Jog (Sakharam Hari Jog). These readings took place in Sathe’s Wada and served as a significant spiritual opportunity for the devotees who gathered to listen.
