What kind of obstacles did Balasaheb Deo encounter when he tried to read the Dnyaneshwari?

The obstacles Balasaheb Deo faced were both internal and external. Chapter 41 explains that whenever he took the Dnyaneshwari in hand, internal issues like doubts would arise in his heart. This caused his reading to remain superficial and prevented him from developing a true love for the text. While other books were read regularly without issue, his strong intention to read the Dnyaneshwari was consistently foiled. Even his resolution to read just five verses daily did not happen with regularity, indicating a persistent block that he could not overcome through his own willpower.
