I heard Balasaheb Deo took a three-month leave to go into seclusion at Shirdi and read the Dnyaneshwari. What were the results of this retreat?

While it is true that Balasaheb Deo took a three-month leave, he did not spend it in seclusion at Shirdi for this purpose, nor did he succeed. Chapter 41 explains that he went to Shirdi and then proceeded to his home in Ponda to rest. During this extended leave, he found that other tasks and regular books occupied his time, and his core desire to read the Dnyaneshwari remained unfulfilled. He noted that whenever he did pick up the Dnyaneshwari, doubts would surface, making the reading feel superficial and preventing him from developing love for it.
