I heard a devotee named Deo had trouble with his studies. Can you explain what was going on with his reading of the Dnyaneshwari?

Yes, the story of Balasaheb Deo's struggle is recounted in Chapter 41. He had a strong wish to read the sacred text Dnyaneshwari every day, similar to how one might read a chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. However, despite his strong intentions, some unnamed obstacle would always interfere, and his resolution would be broken. This was specific to the Dnyaneshwari; he was able to read other books without any issue. The problem was internal, as doubts would surface and he couldn't find a true love for the text, making the reading feel shallow. Ultimately, he surrendered the effort, deciding he would only read it if he received a direct command from Sai Baba to do so.
