I'm having trouble being consistent with my spiritual practices. Is there a story about a devotee who faced similar obstacles?

Yes, the Shri Sai Satcharitra contains a very relatable story about this exact issue. Chapter 41 recounts the experience of a devotee named Balasaheb Deo who had a strong desire to read the sacred text Dnyaneshwari every day. However, he faced constant obstacles that prevented him from maintaining this practice. The text mentions that even when he took a three-month leave from work to focus on it, other tasks came up, and his goal remained unfulfilled. This story illustrates that facing interruptions in spiritual practice is a common struggle, and it sets the stage for how Sai Baba's grace can help overcome such difficulties.
