Despite taking a three-month leave for rest, Balasaheb Deo still couldn't read the Dnyaneshwari. What does the text say he did instead?

Even with an extended three-month leave, Balasaheb Deo's goal of reading the Dnyaneshwari remained unfulfilled. According to Chapter 41, while he went to his home in Ponda to rest comfortably, his time was occupied by other activities. The text mentions that "other tasks were done" and "other regular books were read." This detail emphasizes the specific nature of the obstacle he faced; it was not a lack of time or opportunity in general, but a unique block that arose only when he attempted to engage with the Dnyaneshwari, causing his reading to be superficial and preventing the formation of love for the text.
