When Balasaheb Deo was struggling to read the Dnyaneshwari, what advice did Jog offer, and why did Deo reject it?

πŸ“– Chapter 41

According to the account in Chapter 41, when Balasaheb Deo was in Shirdi, Jog asked him why he wasn't reading the Dnyaneshwari. Deo explained his difficulty and the vow he had taken to only read it upon Baba's direct command. Jog then suggested a clever trick: Deo should bring the book, place it in Sai Baba's hands, and when Baba returned it, he should take that as a sign of permission to begin reading. However, Deo firmly rejected this idea. He stated, 'I don't need any tricks; Baba knows my inner heart.' Deo's faith was so strong that he believed Baba would openly and clearly tell him to 'Read' when the time was right, without needing any prompting or contrivances.
