Balasaheb Deo had a persistent desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily, but as Chapter 41 explains, he consistently faced obstacles that prevented him from maintaining this spiritual practice. Even when he took a three-month leave from work, he found that other books were read, but the Dnyaneshwari was neglected. When he did attempt to read it, doubts would cloud his mind, making the reading feel superficial and preventing him from developing love for the text. Frustrated that he could not even manage to read five verses daily, Deo made a firm resolution. He decided he would only start reading the Dnyaneshwari when Sai Baba Himself gave a direct order to do so, placing his faith entirely in Sai's timing and grace.
