I'm trying to start a daily spiritual practice but find it hard to be consistent. What guidance can be found in the story of Balasaheb Deo?

The story of Balasaheb Deo in Chapter 41 offers profound guidance for those struggling with consistency in spiritual practices. Deo faced immense difficulty maintaining his daily reading of the Dnyaneshwari, with obstacles and internal doubts constantly derailing his efforts. His experience teaches the power of sincere surrender when personal effort fails. Instead of giving up or forcing it, he made a resolution to wait for divine grace, deciding he would only read when "Sai Himself gives love And says 'Read,'" as stated in Chapter 41. This shows that acknowledging our limitations and placing our faith and problem at the Guru's feet is a powerful step. The chapter suggests that Sai is loving to such devotees and will ward off their difficulties, eventually granting the devotion they seek.
