The challenges Balasaheb Deo faced with the Dnyaneshwari were unique and persistent. Chapter 41 details how, unlike other books which he read regularly, his resolution to read the Dnyaneshwari would not hold without interruption. Even when he took a three-month leave from his job to rest and focus on spiritual practice, the desire to read it was not fulfilled. The text states that whenever he took the Dnyaneshwari in hand, doubts would arise in his heart, which made the reading feel superficial and prevented him from developing a love for it. His struggle was so profound that even his resolution to read a mere five verses, or Ovis, daily did not happen with regularity and enthusiasm, a stark contrast to his successful reading of other regular books.
Can you elaborate on the specific difficulties Balasaheb Deo encountered when he attempted to read the Dnyaneshwari, as compared to other books?
