After making a firm resolution to only read the Dnyaneshwari upon receiving a direct order from Sai Baba, Balasaheb Deo traveled to Shirdi. As recounted in Chapter 41, he went there on an auspicious occasion with his mother and sisters to see the Guru's worship. Upon his arrival, he was approached by another devotee, Jog. In a moment that seemed to reflect Sai's omniscience, Jog asked him a very pointed question: "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" This immediate and relevant inquiry, as mentioned in Chapter 41, highlighted the central spiritual struggle Deo was facing and set the stage for the events that would follow, demonstrating the marvelous way things happened around Sai.
