The source material from Chapter 41 describes the obstacles preventing Balasaheb Deo from reading the Dnyaneshwari as being both external and internal. While it mentions that "some obstacle or other would come," the primary focus is on his internal state. When he took the Dnyaneshwari in hand, "some doubts would arise in the heart." This caused his reading to remain "superficial," and as a result, "love did not arise within." Unlike other books which he could read regularly, his strong intent for the Dnyaneshwari was consistently thwarted. This suggests the obstacles were a complex mix of circumstances and a lack of the necessary inner disposition or grace, which he ultimately sought from Sai Baba.
Based on the excerpts, what was the nature of the 'obstacles' that prevented Balasaheb Deo from reading the Dnyaneshwari?
