What specific spiritual practice did Balasaheb Deo struggle with, and why was it so frustrating for him?

Balasaheb Deo struggled profoundly with the spiritual practice of reading the Dnyaneshwari daily. As Chapter 41 explains, his frustration stemmed from the fact that despite having a great desire and making a firm resolution, some obstacle would invariably arise to prevent him from maintaining his reading schedule. This was particularly vexing because he had no such trouble reading other books regularly. The text mentions that when he did manage to pick up the Dnyaneshwari, doubts would surface in his heart, making the reading feel superficial and preventing him from developing a true love for it. Even his attempt to read just five verses daily did not succeed with any regularity.
