What happened when Balasaheb Deo visited Shirdi again? Did anyone notice he wasn't reading the Dnyaneshwari?

Yes, someone did notice. After making his firm resolve to wait for Sai Baba's command, Balasaheb Deo visited Shirdi on an auspicious occasion for the Guru's worship. According to Chapter 41, while he was there, a person named Jog directly asked him, "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" This question directly addressed the very practice Deo had been struggling with and had surrendered to Sai's will. The text sets this up as a pivotal moment, leading into Deo's explanation of his profound difficulty and his unique resolution.
