During his three-month leave, was Balasaheb Deo successful in his spiritual practice of reading the Dnyaneshwari?

No, Balasaheb Deo was not successful in reading the Dnyaneshwari during his three-month leave. According to Chapter 41, he took the leave and went to his home in Ponda to rest, hoping to fulfill his desire. However, while other tasks were done and other books were read regularly, the time for the Dnyaneshwari did not come. The same obstacles persisted; whenever he took the book in hand, doubts would arise, and the reading remained superficial. This continued failure during his extended leave contributed to his eventual decision to stop trying until he received a direct order from Sai Baba.
