Upon visiting the mosque for Sai Baba's darshan, Balasaheb Deo's interaction was initially centered on dakshina, not his reading vow. As Chapter 41 details, when Deo first offered one rupee, Baba instructed him, "Why only one? Bring twenty." The following day, Baba again asked for twenty rupees, which Deo gave with joy. During this visit, the mosque was very crowded, and Deo stayed aside in a corner. Baba noticed him and called out, "Where is the companion? He is hidden in a difficult place." After Deo identified himself, Baba engaged him in a brief exchange about the money and then gave him a direct command: "Come, come close like this; sit near with a calm mind." This invitation brought Deo out of the crowd and into close proximity with his Guru.
