Was Balasaheb Deo's difficulty with reading a general problem, or was it specific to the Dnyaneshwari?

The difficulty Balasaheb Deo faced was highly specific to the Dnyaneshwari. Chapter 41 explicitly states that when other books were taken in hand, they were read regularly without any issue. For instance, during a three-month leave he took to rest, he was able to read other books, but his desire to read the Dnyaneshwari remained unfulfilled. This contrast indicates that his struggle was not a general lack of discipline or ability but a unique spiritual block tied specifically to that revered scripture, which he could not overcome through his own efforts.
