Based on Balasaheb Deo's experience, what does Chapter 41 teach about seeking direct commands from a Guru versus using indirect methods?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 41

Chapter 41 provides a powerful example through Balasaheb Deo's story. When Deo was struggling to read the Dnyaneshwari, his friend Jog suggested a "trick": place the book in Sai Baba's hands and take it back as a sign to begin reading. However, Deo rejected this idea, stating, "I don't need any tricks; Baba knows my inner heart. Why won't He fulfill my wish? He will say 'Read' clearly." He made a firm resolve to wait for a direct, unambiguous command from Baba. This demonstrates a profound level of faith, trusting that the Guru is omniscient and will fulfill a devotee's true spiritual desire without the need for schemes or indirect prompts.
