Even after hosting the three uninvited guests, Dev remained doubtful. What was the source of his confusion, and what did he write in his letter to Jog?

Dev's doubt and confusion stemmed from his expectation of how Sai Baba would fulfill a promise to attend his Udyapan ceremony. As detailed in Chapter 40, even though he had personally served three uninvited guests—the Sanyasi and his companions—he couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't the experience he was waiting for. The text notes that a "veil of Maya" clouded his perception. In his perplexed state, he wrote a letter to Jog seeking testimony. In the letter, Dev lamented how Baba had seemingly deceived him, writing, "How is it that Baba deceived me? ... I waited with great effort, but no experience came." He expressed profound disappointment and confusion that Baba's promise to come had turned out so differently than he had imagined.
