Chapter 18 recounts a personal incident where the author, Hemadpant, was reading the Bhagavat but put the book aside to rush to the Masjid, eager to hear Baba's live stories. However, Baba perceived this interruption of the sacred reading with dissatisfaction. He insisted that Hemadpant return to his reading and finish the portion of the Bhagavat that he had left incomplete. This event, which the author recalls with great love, serves as a powerful lesson. It underscores the importance Baba placed on discipline, the completion of spiritual practices like Parayana, and the profound value of the holy scriptures as a means of receiving grace.
Why did Baba make the author of the Satcharitra go back and finish reading a book he had left halfway?
