Could you detail the specific attempts Balasaheb Deo made to read the Dnyaneshwari before making his final resolve?

According to Chapter 41, Balasaheb Deo's desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily was strong, but his efforts were consistently thwarted. He found that while other books could be read regularly, his resolution for the Dnyaneshwari would not hold without interruption. He even took a three-month leave and went to his home in Ponda to rest, but the desire remained unfulfilled. The text explicitly mentions that he became so distressed that he resolved to read 'at least five verses [Ovis] daily,' but even that minimal commitment did not happen with regularity and enthusiasm, which led him to his final decision to wait for Sai's order.
