The excerpts from Chapter 18 do not state that Sai Baba interrupted Bapusaheb Jog's reading. In fact, the text indicates that Jog would read daily with discipline after receiving permission from Baba. The incident of an interrupted reading described in Chapter 18 involves the author of the book, not Jog. The author recounts, 'I too used to read it constantly, but on that day, there was an interruption. I had read half a story... I put the book aside and ran there [to the Masjid].' It was the author, not Jog, whom Baba then insisted should go back and finish reading the remaining part of the Bhagavat.
Why did Baba interrupt Bapusaheb Jog's reading of the Bhagavat, and what did he ask him to do instead?
