In Shirdi, a man named Jog learned of Balasaheb Deo's vow to only read the Dnyaneshwari upon Sai Baba's direct command. According to Chapter 41, Jog suggested a clever trick: Deo should bring his copy of the Dnyaneshwari, place it in Baba's hands, and then interpret its return as the order to begin reading. However, Balasaheb Deo firmly rejected this approach. He responded that he had no need for such tricks because he believed Baba was fully aware of his inner thoughts and desires. Deo expressed his complete faith that the 'powerful one' would fulfill his wish directly and clearly say 'Read' when the time was right, without any need for such indirect methods.
How did Jog attempt to help Balasaheb Deo with his vow, and why did Deo reject his suggestion?
