After making a firm resolve to only read the Dnyaneshwari upon receiving a direct command from Sai Baba, Balasaheb Deo eventually returned to Shirdi. As detailed in Chapter 41, he arrived on an auspicious occasion to witness the Guru's worship ceremony. While there, he was approached by another devotee, Jog. Recognizing Deo, Jog directly questioned him about his spiritual practice, asking, "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" This question put Deo's new resolve to the test and set the stage for the unfolding of Sai's grace, as Deo had to account for his decision to pause his efforts based on his inner commitment to wait for the Guru's explicit instruction.
