The context for Jog's question was a visit Balasaheb Deo made to Shirdi. As Chapter 41 describes, after struggling immensely and failing to read the Dnyaneshwari, Deo had made a personal vow to wait for a direct order from Sai Baba before trying again. Sometime after making this firm resolve, he traveled to Shirdi on an auspicious occasion, accompanied by his mother and sisters, specifically "to see the glory of the Guru's worship." It was during this pilgrimage, while Deo was in Shirdi, that Jog approached him and asked, "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" The question directly addressed the spiritual practice Deo had famously struggled with and recently surrendered to Sai's will.
What was the setting and context for the question Jog asked Balasaheb Deo about reading the Dnyaneshwari?
