According to Chapter 18, the daily readings arranged by Sai Baba focused on two main books that form the essence of the Bhagavat religion: the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat. More specifically, the texts being read were the Jnaneshwari, which is a commentary on the Gita also known as Bhavartha Deepika, and the beautiful eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat by Eknath. These were considered a platform for achieving the highest spiritual goal. Baba's insistence on these readings demonstrated the immense value He placed on them for the spiritual development and welfare of His followers.
