Initially, Balasaheb Deo attempted to read the Dnyaneshwari daily, much like one might read a chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. According to Chapter 41, when this failed due to constant interruptions, he reduced his goal to just five verses, or Ovis, daily. However, even this minimal commitment did not happen with regularity and enthusiasm. Feeling distressed and unsuccessful, Deo made a final, firm resolve. He decided to cease his attempts altogether and vowed to only begin reading the Dnyaneshwari again when Sai Baba Himself gave a direct order to do so, placing the future of his practice entirely in Sai's hands.
How did Balasaheb Deo's approach to reading the Dnyaneshwari evolve, and what was his final resolution?
