How did Balasaheb Deo's spiritual strategy for reading the Dnyaneshwari change after his initial failures?

πŸ“– Chapter 41

Balasaheb Deo's initial strategy was based on personal willpower and resolution. As chapter 41 details, he tried to make it a rule to read the Dnyaneshwari daily, but this approach consistently failed, leading to frustration. His strategy underwent a fundamental shift from active effort to passive surrender. After realizing he could not succeed on his own, even with a reduced goal of five verses, he made a new vow. He decided to completely stop trying and instead 'sat with a firm resolve' to wait for an explicit, divine order from Sai Baba. This new approach transferred the responsibility for initiating the practice from himself to his Guru, demonstrating a profound change from self-reliance to complete faith and patience in awaiting a direct command from Baba.
