What was the significance of Jog's question to Deo when they met in Shirdi?

When Balasaheb Deo next visited Shirdi, he was approached by another devotee named Jog. The encounter was highly significant due to its timing. As Chapter 41 explains, Deo had just made a firm, private vow to only read the Dnyaneshwari upon receiving a direct command from Sai Baba. It was in this context that Jog unexpectedly asked him, "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" This question, mirroring Deo's internal struggle and secret resolution, is presented as a marvelous leela, or divine play, orchestrated by Sai Baba. It served as the catalyst that would lead to the fulfillment of Deo's deep-seated desire and demonstrated Baba's omniscience.
