The provided text from Chapter 18 does not mention any form of payment or salary for Bapusaheb Jog's reading services. The reading was presented as a sacred assignment, or 'seva,' given by Sai Baba for the spiritual welfare of the devotees. Chapter 18 describes this as Baba's assignment for Sakharam Hari Jog, which created an opportunity of great use to the devotees in Sathe’s Wada. Jog would perform this duty with discipline, taking Baba's permission daily after his meal. The narrative emphasizes the devotional aspect of the act, not any transactional or financial one. The only mention of money is in a separate incident where Baba sends Madhavrao to collect fifteen rupees Dakshina from Shama.
How much did Bapusaheb Jog get paid for his daily readings of the Jnaneshwari and Nath Bhagawat in Sathe's Wada?
