Balasaheb Deo's attempts to read the Dnyaneshwari were marked by consistent failure, as detailed in Chapter 41. He had a strong intention to read it daily but was always met with interruptions. He even took a three-month leave, traveling from Shirdi to his home in Ponda for rest, but still, the desire to read the Dnyaneshwari was not fulfilled. His efforts were so unsuccessful that even a minimal commitment of reading five verses (Ovis) daily did not happen with regularity. The turning point came from this distress. He shifted his approach entirely, making a firm resolve to surrender the effort. He decided he would only commence reading when Sai Baba personally gave him the order and the love for the text, demonstrating a complete reliance on his Guru's grace.
