What specific spiritual text was Balasaheb Deo trying to study, and why did he stop his attempts?

The spiritual text Balasaheb Deo was trying to study was the Dnyaneshwari. As detailed in Chapter 41, he had a great desire to read it daily, but his resolution was constantly failing. The reason he stopped his attempts was due to persistent internal and external obstacles. The text notes that whenever he picked up the Dnyaneshwari, doubts would arise, making his reading superficial and preventing him from developing love for it. After becoming distressed that even reading five verses daily was not happening, he made a new resolution: he would stop trying and wait until Sai Baba Himself gave him the order and the love to read it.
