What challenges did Balasaheb Deo face in his attempts to read the Dnyaneshwari?

Balasaheb Deo faced significant and persistent challenges in his desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily. According to the narrative in Chapter 41, despite having a strong intent, various obstacles would consistently prevent him from maintaining the practice. This was in contrast to other books, which he could read regularly. Even when he took a three-month leave and went home to Ponda, the desire remained unfulfilled. Chapter 41 further details that whenever he tried to read the Dnyaneshwari, doubts would surface in his heart, making the reading feel superficial and preventing him from developing a deep love for it. His resolution to read even just five verses daily did not succeed.
