What specific vow did Balasaheb Deo make in response to his inability to read the Dnyaneshwari?

Feeling distressed by his repeated failure to maintain a regular practice of reading the Dnyaneshwari, Balasaheb Deo made a very specific and firm resolution. As explained in Chapter 41, he decided to place his faith entirely at Sai's feet. He made a personal rule that he would only start reading the sacred text when Sai Baba Himself gave the direct order to do so. His vow was, "Only when Sai Himself gives love And says 'Read,' then will I start without any confusion." He then sat with this firm resolve, waiting for a command from his Guru.
