After repeated failures to establish a regular reading practice of the Dnyaneshwari, Balasaheb Deo made a firm and unique resolution. As Chapter 41 recounts, he decided to stop trying on his own and instead vowed that he would only begin reading the sacred text when Sai Baba Himself gave the order. He resolved, "Only when Sai Himself gives love And says 'Read,' then will I start without any confusion." This demonstrates a profound level of faith and surrender to his Guru. Instead of relying on his own willpower, which had proven insufficient, he placed the entire matter at Sai’s feet, trusting that the divine command would remove all obstacles.
What was the nature of Balasaheb Deo's final resolution regarding the Dnyaneshwari, and what does this reveal about his relationship with Sai Baba?
