What specific vow did Balasaheb Deo make regarding the Dnyaneshwari, and what prompted it?

After numerous failed attempts to read the Dnyaneshwari regularly, Balasaheb Deo felt completely distressed. He couldn't even maintain a simple rule of reading five verses daily. As a result, he made a very specific and firm resolution. Chapter 41 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra details this vow: "'Only when Sai Himself gives love And says 'Read,' then will I start without any confusion.'" He put his complete faith at Sai's feet, deciding he would only undertake the reading of the Dnyaneshwari upon receiving a direct order from his Guru. This decision was prompted by the persistent failure of his own efforts and the realization that he needed divine grace to succeed in his spiritual aspiration.
