Balasaheb Deo's vow was a significant act of surrender born from deep frustration. According to Chapter 41, he had a great desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily, but unlike other books which he read regularly, he faced constant interruptions and a lack of inner connection with this particular scripture. His attempts failed, even when he resolved to read a mere five verses daily. Feeling distressed and unsuccessful, he made a solemn rule for himself. He resolved, "Only when Sai Himself gives love And says 'Read,' then will I start without any confusion." This meant he completely ceased his own efforts and placed the responsibility for initiating his study of the Dnyaneshwari entirely on a future, explicit command from Sai Baba, demonstrating immense faith in his Guru's power to resolve his spiritual block.
