How is Balasaheb Deo's difficulty with the Dnyaneshwari used as an example of Sai's relationship with his followers?

The story of Balasaheb Deo is presented as a prime example of how Sai Baba is loving toward his devotees and helps them with their spiritual aspirations. Chapter 41 begins by stating that Sai wards off difficulties for those with a true taste for spiritual matters. Deo's intense, yet frustrated, desire to read the Dnyaneshwari represents such a spiritual difficulty. By making a vow to wait for Sai's direct command, Deo demonstrated complete faith. The narrative, as recounted in Chapter 41, frames this entire situation as a "Leela" or marvelous play, set up by Sai to ultimately fulfill Deo's wish and grant him "the addition of devotion," showcasing Sai's deep engagement with the heartfelt spiritual goals of his followers.
