The contrast was quite stark. As Chapter 41 explains, Balasaheb Deo was capable of maintaining a regular reading schedule for other books. The text specifically mentions that reading one chapter of the Bhagavad Gita daily was a rule that could be followed, and other books were also read regularly during his leave. However, when it came to the Dnyaneshwari, his experience was completely different. Despite a strong desire, obstacles would always appear, his resolution would be interrupted, and his heart would fill with doubts, preventing him from developing a true love for the text.
How did Balasaheb Deo's attempts to read the Dnyaneshwari contrast with his ability to read other spiritual texts?
