Upon returning to Shirdi after making his private vow, Balasaheb Deo was approached by a man named Jog. As recounted in Chapter 41, Jog asked him directly, "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" The significance of this question is its timing. It came precisely after Deo had struggled immensely and resolved to wait for a sign from Sai Baba. This interaction serves as a narrative turning point, bringing Deo's internal struggle and private resolution into the open and setting the stage for the fulfillment of his wish, demonstrating how events in Shirdi were interconnected with a devotee's deepest spiritual needs.
In Shirdi, who asked Balasaheb Deo about his Dnyaneshwari reading, and what was the significance of this question?
