Balasaheb Deo had a great and long-standing desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily, but he consistently failed. As described in chapter 41, some obstacle would always arise, preventing him from maintaining his resolution, even though he could read other books regularly. His efforts became so frustrating that even a smaller goal of reading just five verses, or Ovis, daily did not happen with regularity. This distress and lack of success led him to change his approach entirely. He made a firm resolve to stop trying on his own and instead decided that he would only begin reading the sacred text when Sai Baba Himself gave a direct and unambiguous order to do so, placing his faith completely at Sai's feet.
How did Balasaheb Deo's persistent struggle to read the Dnyaneshwari lead him to make a specific vow to Sai Baba?
