This is quite a spoilerish question for the last jedi so the title is cryptic and some text is here to stop spoilers appearing in the preview.
Luke is determined to burn down the Jedi tree and the books inside. However, there is an intervention from Yoda, who burns it down himself.
At first, I thought this intervention was nice but a little pointless. But at the end of the film, you see
Rey had stolen the books
Which leads to a reassessment of the intervention.
Given that Luke was adamant that he would not pass on the Jedi lore, did Yoda choose that moment to intervene to stop him from finding out what Rey had done?
I found the dialog in that part quite hard to follow so I could have missed the intent. I don't know what Luke would have done in any case, but it seems that it could have been done to prevent Luke from carrying through with his intent.
Was this the point of the intervention?
Anyone who has secondary sources or followed the dialog better may have a more accurate viewpoint.
Answer
Yoda actually says to Luke:
"That library contained nothing that the girl Rey does not already possess"
At the time we take it to mean that she already has all the knowledge that she needs to become a Jedi, but later when we see that she has stolen the books we realise that Yoda was talking literally.
From this we can assume that as he knew the books were stolen he was trying to hide this from Luke, presumably to prevent him from trying to retrieve them.
