Can you describe the spiritual difficulty Balasaheb Deo faced, as mentioned in the text?

Certainly. Chapter 41 describes the spiritual predicament of Balasaheb Deo. He had a profound desire to read the sacred text, the Dnyaneshwari, on a daily basis. However, despite his strong intentions, he consistently encountered obstacles that thwarted his efforts. The text notes that while other books were read regularly, his resolution for the Dnyaneshwari would not hold. When he would take the Dnyaneshwari in hand, doubts would surface in his heart, making the reading feel superficial and preventing him from feeling any love for the text. This struggle became so great that he eventually resolved to wait for a direct command from Sai Baba to resume his reading.
