What specific problem did Das Ganu have while writing his commentary on the Ishavasya Upanishad, and how did Baba say it would be solved?

📖 Chapter 20

Chapter 20 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains the challenge Das Ganu faced while composing his commentary, the "Ishavasya-Bhavartha-Bodhini." His aim was to explain the Upanishad in simple Prakrit language for those who didn't know Sanskrit. However, the text states that while he translated it word-for-word, he could not grasp the "internal secret" or the deep meaning, and as a result, "the mind found no joy." When he took this doubt to Sai Baba in Shirdi, Baba provided a surprising solution. As recounted in Chapter 20, Baba told him, "The resolution of this doubt of yours will be done by the maidservant at Kaka’s house when you return there."
