Analyzing his spiritual journey, why did Balasaheb Deo reject Jog's practical advice in favor of waiting for a direct command from Sai Baba?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 41

Balasaheb Deo's approach highlights a profound reliance on absolute faith over practical strategy. As explained in Chapter 41, he had struggled for a long time to read the Dnyaneshwari, finding his own efforts and resolutions insufficient. He came to believe that true inspiration and love for the scripture could only be granted by the Guru. Therefore, when Jog suggested the "trick" of having Baba physically hand him the book, Deo rejected it. He stated, "I don't need any tricks; Baba knows my inner heart." This demonstrates his conviction that a genuine spiritual command from Baba was necessary, rather than a contrived signal, believing the powerful one would remove his inner obstacle and fulfill his wish with a clear, direct instruction.
