Having made a firm resolve to only read the Dnyaneshwari upon a direct order from Sai Baba, Balasaheb Deo traveled to Shirdi with his mother and sisters. As narrated in Chapter 41, soon after his arrival, he had a significant encounter. Another devotee named Jog approached him and asked a very pointed question: "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" This question directly addressed the private vow Deo had just made, bringing his internal spiritual struggle into the open within the environment of Shirdi and setting the stage for the ensuing leela that would resolve his predicament.
What happened immediately after Balasaheb Deo arrived in Shirdi with his new resolve about the Dnyaneshwari?
