What was Balasaheb Deo's main spiritual struggle, and what decision did he make about it?

Balasaheb Deo's primary spiritual struggle was his inability to consistently read the Dnyaneshwari daily, despite a strong and persistent desire to do so. As described in Chapter 41, various obstacles would arise, and even when he took a three-month leave, the reading did not happen. After failing to maintain even a simple resolution of reading five verses daily, Deo became distressed. He then made a firm resolve, placing his faith at Sai Baba's feet, that he would only begin reading the Dnyaneshwari when Sai Himself gave the order. He decided to wait for a direct command from his Guru before starting the practice again.
