Can you explain the problem Das Ganu faced in Chapter 20 and how Sai Baba proposed to solve it?

📖 Chapter 20

In Chapter 20 of the Sai Satcharitra, we learn about the challenges faced by Das Ganu. He was attempting to write a commentary called the "Ishavasya-Bhavartha-Bodhini" to explain the Ishavasya Upanishad in simple language. Despite translating it word for word, he felt his work was incomplete because he couldn't grasp its "internal secret," and his mind found no joy. When he brought this doubt to Sai Baba in Shirdi, Baba gave him a cryptic instruction. As the chapter recounts, Baba told him, "The resolution of this doubt of yours will be done by the maidservant at Kaka’s house when you return there," setting the stage for a lesson on how spiritual wisdom is imparted.
