This premise misrepresents the interaction between Jog and Balasaheb Deo. Jog did not tell Deo to stop reading the Dnyaneshwari. On the contrary, upon seeing Deo in Shirdi, Jog asked him, "Why aren't you reading Dnyaneshwari daily these days?" As Chapter 41 recounts, this question prompted Deo to explain his long-standing difficulty and the resolution he had made to wait for Sai's command. Jog's question was one of inquiry and concern for Deo's spiritual practice, not an instruction to abandon it.
Why did Jog tell Balasaheb Deo in Shirdi to stop trying to read the Dnyaneshwari?
