Sai Baba placed great importance on the reading of specific sacred texts for the spiritual welfare of his devotees. As detailed in Chapter 18, the two main books he emphasized were the Jnaneshwari, also known as Bhavartha Deepika, and the Nath Bhagawat, which is the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat. Baba assigned Bapusaheb Jog (Sakharam Hari Jog) the task of reading these books daily with discipline in Sathe’s Wada. The text highlights that Baba considered these readings, containing the essence of the Bhagavat religion, to be of utmost importance for the salvation of souls.
