Bapusaheb Jog was given a specific assignment by Sai Baba to serve the devotees through sacred readings. According to Chapter 18, Baba told him to read books daily in Sathe's Wada. His disciplined routine involved going to Baba every day after the afternoon meal. There, he would bow at Baba's feet, take Udi as a blessing, and formally ask for permission to begin the reading. Once permission was granted, he would go to the Wada and start the Parayana of texts like the Jnaneshwari or the Nath Bhagawat. He didn't just read the words; he would also provide explanations of the meaning for the benefit of the listeners who would gather to hear the scripture.
