What happened when Balasaheb Deo took a three-month leave from work? Was he able to read the Dnyaneshwari then?

No, Balasaheb Deo was not successful in reading the Dnyaneshwari during his three-month leave. Chapter 41 recounts that he took the leave and went to his home in Ponda to rest and focus on spiritual matters. While he was able to read other regular books and perform other tasks, his primary desire to read the Dnyaneshwari remained unfulfilled. The text explicitly states that whenever he picked up that specific book, doubts would arise, the reading remained superficial, and he could not find the inner love for it, meaning its time had not yet come.
