What happened when Balasaheb Deo took a three-month leave, and did it help his spiritual practice with the Dnyaneshwari?

Balasaheb Deo once took a three-month leave, during which he went from Shirdi to his home in Ponda to rest. However, this extended period of free time did not help him achieve his goal of reading the Dnyaneshwari. According to Chapter 41, while he managed to accomplish other tasks and read other books regularly during this leave, his desire to read the Dnyaneshwari remained unfulfilled. The text notes that whenever he took the book in hand, doubts would arise, the reading would remain superficial, and the proper time for it simply did not seem to come, highlighting the internal, rather than external, nature of his obstacle.
