Why did Sai Baba instruct his devotees to prioritize reading the Christian Bible over traditional Hindu texts in Shirdi?

The information provided does not support the premise that Sai Baba prioritized the Bible. On the contrary, Chapter 18 explicitly states that the merciful Sainath had devotees read divinely inspired Hindu scriptures daily in Shirdi. The key texts mentioned are Jnandeva's Bhavartha Deepika (also known as Jnaneshwari) and the Nath Bhagawat (the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat). Bapusaheb Jog was specifically assigned to conduct daily readings of these books in Sathe's Wada, demonstrating Baba's emphasis on these particular works for the spiritual welfare of his devotees.
