Did taking a three-month leave from work help Balasaheb Deo in his goal to read the Dnyaneshwari?

No, taking a three-month leave did not help Balasaheb Deo achieve his goal. Chapter 41 recounts that he took the leave and went first to Shirdi and then to his home in Ponda to rest. During this time, he managed to accomplish other tasks and read other books regularly. However, despite the ample time, his specific desire to read the Dnyaneshwari remained unfulfilled. Whenever he took the book in hand, doubts would arise, and the reading felt superficial, so the right time for it simply did not come.
