Which specific sacred books were read daily in Shirdi, and what was their significance?

The daily readings in Shirdi, as instructed by Baba, focused on two main books considered the essence of the Bhagavat religion. Chapter 18 identifies these as the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat. More specifically, the texts being read were 'Jnaneshwari,' a famous commentary on the Gita also known as Bhavartha Deepika, and the 'beautiful eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat,' which is described as 'Nath’s platform for the highest spiritual goal.' These books were not merely read for ritual; Baba actively used them as teaching tools, often sending devotees to listen at the precise moment a relevant story was being recounted, thus revealing the texts as a living extension of His own grace and wisdom.
