According to Chapter 18, several divinely inspired books were read daily in Shirdi for the salvation of souls. The primary texts mentioned are the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat, specifically the commentary on the Gita known as Jnaneshwari (or Bhavartha Deepika) and the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat. Sai Baba assigned these readings to his devotees for their spiritual welfare. For instance, he gave this assignment to Sakharam Hari Jog, which took place in Sathe’s Wada. He also told Bapusaheb Jog to read these books daily, and Jog would diligently perform the Parayana, sometimes reading Jnaneshwari and other times Nath Bhagawat, after receiving Baba's permission each day.
