Which specific scriptures did Sai Baba emphasize for daily reading in Shirdi, and why were they considered so important?

📖 Chapter 18

Sai Baba placed great importance on two main streams of spiritual literature: the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat. Chapter 18 specifies that the texts read daily were Jnandeva's commentary on the Gita, known as Bhavartha Deepika or Jnaneshwari, and the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat, which is Eknath's Nath Bhagawat. Baba considered the Nath Bhagawat a divinely inspired book, stating that those who perform its reading with faith can attain God instantly. He saw these texts as the essence of the Bhagavat religion and a platform for reaching the highest spiritual goal, making them a central part of the daily spiritual practice in Shirdi.
