I'm finding it hard to be consistent with my spiritual readings. Is there a story about a devotee who had a similar problem and how Sai helped them?

Yes, the story of Balasaheb Deo from Chapter 41 speaks directly to this struggle. Deo had a great desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily, but he was constantly thwarted by obstacles and a lack of inner connection, which made his reading feel superficial. This happened even though he could read other books just fine. His frustration grew to the point that he made a vow to only read the Dnyaneshwari if he received a direct command from Sai. The text from Chapter 41 positions this as an example of how Sai is loving toward devotees, warding off their difficulties and guiding them. While the resolution isn't fully detailed in these specific chunks, the setup implies that Sai's intervention, even if indirect, is the key to overcoming such spiritual hurdles.
