How did Sai Baba's devotee, Deo, struggle to maintain his resolution of reading the Dnyaneshwari?

The scriptures describe Balasaheb Deo's persistent struggle to incorporate a daily reading of the Dnyaneshwari into his spiritual practice. According to Chapter 41, despite having a great desire and even taking a three-month leave from work to focus on it, he found his resolution would not hold. Other tasks would intervene, and when he did pick up the book, doubts would surface, making the reading feel superficial and preventing him from feeling any love for it. This was a source of great distress for him, as he couldn't even manage to read five verses consistently. Ultimately, feeling helpless, he decided to surrender the issue to his Guru, vowing to only resume his reading upon receiving a direct order from Sai Baba.
