Balasaheb Deo made a very specific and firm resolve concerning his reading of the Dnyaneshwari. After repeated failures to maintain a daily reading practice, he felt distressed and unsuccessful. Even his resolution to read a mere five verses, or Ovis, each day did not happen with regularity. According to the account in Chapter 41, this led him to make a vow at Sai Baba's feet. He decided he would only begin reading the Dnyaneshwari again when Sai Baba himself gave him a direct order and instilled in him the love necessary to undertake the study. He sat with this firm resolve, placing the entire responsibility for initiating the practice upon his Guru.
