When Balasaheb Deo was in Shirdi, he explained his predicament to Jog, stating his vow to only read the Dnyaneshwari when Baba Himself gave the command. In response, chapter 41 narrates that Jog suggested a 'trick.' He advised Deo to bring his copy of the Dnyaneshwari, place it in Sai Baba's hands, and then, when Baba returned the book, to interpret that action as the implicit order to begin reading. However, Deo immediately rejected this suggestion. He firmly stated, 'I don't need any tricks; Baba knows my inner heart.' Deo's faith was such that he believed Baba would not require a subtle hint but would instead fulfill his wish directly and clearly say 'Read' when the time was right.
How did Jog suggest Balasaheb Deo could get Sai Baba's permission to read the Dnyaneshwari, and why did Deo reject the idea?
