In a conversation in Shirdi, after Balasaheb Deo explained his vow to only read the Dnyaneshwari upon Sai Baba's direct order, Jog suggested a clever workaround. Chapter 41 recounts how Jog proposed a "trick": Deo should take the book, place it in Sai Baba's hands, and when Baba gave it back, he should interpret that action as the awaited command to begin reading. However, Deo firmly rejected this suggestion. He replied, "I don't need any tricks; Baba knows my inner heart. Why won't He fulfill my wish? He will say 'Read' clearly." Deo's response highlights his unwavering faith that Baba was fully aware of his inner resolve and would provide a clear, explicit instruction without the need for any indirect methods or contrivances.
