I read about a devotee named Balasaheb Deo. What was the specific spiritual practice he struggled with, and why was it so difficult for him?

Balasaheb Deo had a deep desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily as part of his spiritual practice. However, as Chapter 41 explains, he faced persistent obstacles. Unlike other books which he could read regularly, his resolution to read the Dnyaneshwari would not hold. Even when he took a three-month leave, he couldn't accomplish this. The text mentions that whenever he tried, doubts would arise in his heart, making the reading feel superficial and preventing him from developing a love for it. He couldn't even maintain a practice of reading five verses daily.
