According to the narrative in Chapter 41, Balasaheb Deo encountered persistent and perplexing difficulties in his spiritual practice. Despite having a great desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily, some form of obstacle would always arise, preventing him from maintaining his resolution. This was particularly frustrating as he had no trouble reading other books regularly. The text notes that even when he took a three-month leave from work to rest at home, his wish to read the Dnyaneshwari was not fulfilled. When he did manage to take the book in hand, doubts would surface in his heart, which made the reading feel superficial and prevented him from developing a true love for the text. His efforts were so unsuccessful that he could not even manage to read a mere five verses daily with any regularity.
