Balasaheb Deo harbored a great desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily, but as Chapter 41 explains, he consistently faced obstacles that prevented his resolution from holding firm. Even when he took a three-month leave, he found himself reading other books but could not fulfill his wish to read the Dnyaneshwari; doubts would arise and make the reading feel superficial. Frustrated that he could not even manage to read five verses daily, Deo made a new vow. He decided to put his faith entirely in Sai Baba, resolving that he would only begin reading the sacred text when Sai Himself gave a direct order to 'Read,' thus placing the initiation of his practice entirely in his Guru's hands.
What was Balasaheb Deo's specific struggle with reading the Dnyaneshwari, and what was his ultimate resolution to overcome it?
