Describe why Balasaheb Deo rejected Jog's 'trick' and what this reveals about his faith in Sai Baba.

📖 Chapter 41

In Chapter 41, Balasaheb Deo's rejection of Jog's suggestion showcases the depth and nature of his faith. Jog proposed that Deo could get implicit permission to read the Dnyaneshwari by having Baba physically touch the book. Deo refused this because he felt such a 'trick' was unnecessary. His faith was not in symbolic gestures but in a direct, personal relationship with Sai Baba. He stated, 'Baba knows my inner heart. Why won't He fulfill my wish?' This demonstrates his conviction that Baba was fully aware of his struggle and his sincere desire. He was waiting for an explicit, verbal command, believing that the all-knowing Master would grant his wish clearly and directly, without the need for any maneuvering on his part.
