Can you explain the problem Balasaheb Deo had with reading the Dnyaneshwari as mentioned in the Sai Satcharita?

Balasaheb Deo's problem was a peculiar and persistent one. According to the narrative in Chapter 41, he deeply wished to read the sacred text Dnyaneshwari every day. Despite this strong desire, every time he attempted to start a regular practice, some unforeseen obstacle would prevent him from continuing. This was confusing for him because he had no trouble reading other books regularly. Even when he took a three-month leave from work, the goal remained unfulfilled. The reading felt superficial, and he couldn't develop love for it, leading him to feel quite distressed. This spiritual block is presented as a leela that ultimately strengthened his faith in Sai Baba.
