What was the significance of Jog asking Deo about reading the Dnyaneshwari when Deo arrived in Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 41

The timing and nature of Jog's question to Balasaheb Deo in Shirdi were highly significant. As Chapter 41 recounts, Deo had just arrived in Shirdi after making a very personal and firm resolve: he would not read the Dnyaneshwari until he received a direct command from Sai Baba. Having made this private vow born of his repeated failures, he was met by Jog, who immediately asked, "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" This question directly addressed the core of Deo's secret spiritual struggle and his recent resolution. It serves as a narrative turning point, suggesting the Guru's omniscience and setting the stage for a leela where Sai would address the very issue Deo had surrendered at His feet.
