While in Shirdi, who questioned Balasaheb Deo about his reading habits, and what was the context of this interaction?

Upon his arrival in Shirdi, Balasaheb Deo was questioned by a man named Jog. As detailed in Chapter 41, Jog asked Deo directly, "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" This interaction is significant because it occurred right after Deo had made a profound personal decision. After a long period of struggle and failure in his attempts to read the text, Deo had made a firm resolve to not read it at all until he received a direct command from Sai Baba. It was in this state of surrender that he traveled to Shirdi and was immediately confronted by Jog with a question that went to the very heart of his recent vow.
