Why did Baba insist that devotees travel to a remote forest to read the Uddhava Gita for their salvation?

The provided texts actually suggest the opposite of this premise. Chapter 18 explicitly states that one does not need to go to the forest for salvation, as God can manifest through the reading of the Uddhava Gita. Sai Baba facilitated these readings locally in Shirdi. He assigned devotees like Sakharam Hari Jog to conduct daily readings of sacred books, including the Nath Bhagawat and Jnaneshwari, within Sathe’s Wada. Far from sending people away, Baba would direct visitors who came to Him at the Masjid to go to the Wada to listen, demonstrating His method of bestowing grace without requiring arduous journeys.
