What was the author's personal experience when he prioritized hearing Baba's stories over completing his reading of the Bhagavat?

The author recounts a personal and telling incident in Chapter 18 that highlights Sai Baba's emphasis on completing sacred duties. The author was engrossed in reading the Bhagavat when the group began heading to the Masjid. Wanting to hear Baba's stories, he put the book aside mid-story and ran to join them. However, he found that Baba was not pleased. In Baba's mind, there was 'no satisfaction other than the Bhagavat, which had been left in distress.' For this reason, Baba insisted that the author return and finish reading the remaining part of the text. The author reflects on this as a 'great marvel of Baba’s,' an event that caused love for Baba to overflow in his heart upon remembering it.
