The conversation occurred during a visit Balasaheb Deo made to Shirdi. According to Chapter 41, Deo had come to Shirdi with his mother and sisters on an auspicious occasion to see the glory of the Guru's worship. Critically, this visit took place after Deo had privately made a firm resolve to not read the Dnyaneshwari until Sai Baba explicitly ordered him to. Having exhausted all personal efforts and surrendered the matter internally, he was in Shirdi when Jog approached him. Unaware of Deo's internal struggle and recent resolution, Jog directly asked him why he wasn't reading the Dnyaneshwari daily, a question that brought Deo's hidden spiritual dilemma to the forefront in the holy atmosphere of Shirdi.
What was the context of the conversation between Jog and Balasaheb Deo regarding the Dnyaneshwari?
