What does the Sai Satcharitra say about the human tendency to make promises but then hesitate when it's time to act?

Chapter 33 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra delves into this specific aspect of human nature. It states that the mind is characterized by "resolves and counter-resolves," meaning we often have good intentions initially but falter when it's time to act. The text observes, "We all are devoted to verbal promises; at the time of giving, much hesitation; the spirit becomes downcast; certainty is indeed rare." Using Appasaheb's story as a backdrop, it highlights this common struggle. The narrative encourages devotees to nurture their initial good inclinations and praises those who manage to act exactly as they have spoken, showing their word to be true.
