When Balasaheb Deo was in Shirdi, what advice did Mr. Jog give him regarding his inability to read the Dnyaneshwari, and why did Deo reject it?

📖 Chapter 41

In Shirdi, Mr. Jog learned of Balasaheb Deo's vow to only read the Dnyaneshwari upon Sai Baba's direct command. To help him, Jog suggested a clever trick. He advised Deo to bring the sacred book, place it in Sai Baba's hands, and then when Baba returned it, to take that as the signal to begin reading. However, as recounted in Chapter 41, Deo firmly rejected this idea. He stated that he didn't need any tricks because he had complete faith that Baba knew his innermost thoughts and desires. Deo was confident that Sai, the powerful one, would fulfill his wish by giving him a clear and unambiguous instruction to 'Read,' rather than through an indirect method.
