What were the two main sacred books used for daily readings, and how does the text describe their significance?

The daily readings in Shirdi, as detailed in Chapter 18, centered on two principal sacred texts: the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat. Specifically, the versions read were 'Jnaneshwari,' a commentary on the Gita also known as 'Bhavartha Deepika,' and the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat, referred to as 'Nath Bhagawat.' The narrator emphasizes their importance by stating these books contain the essence of the Bhagavat religion. Furthermore, the reading of Nath Bhagawat is described as 'Nath’s platform for the highest spiritual goal,' underscoring the profound spiritual value Baba placed on these texts for the welfare of his devotees.
