What did Balasaheb Deo do during his three-month leave, and was he successful in his spiritual goal?

During a three-month leave from his job, Balasaheb Deo first went to Shirdi and then traveled to his home in Ponda to rest. Chapter 41 recounts that even with this extended period of free time, his primary spiritual goal remained unfulfilled. He occupied himself with other tasks and read other books regularly, but his great desire to read the Dnyaneshwari was not realized. The text notes that the opportune time for it simply did not come, and when he did try, doubts would arise, indicating that the obstacle was not a lack of time but an internal one that persisted despite his change in circumstances.
