What spiritual difficulty did Balasaheb Deo face, and what was its nature?

Balasaheb Deo experienced a significant obstacle in his spiritual practice related to reading the sacred text, Dnyaneshwari. As described in Chapter 41, despite having a great desire to read it daily, some form of obstacle would always arise, preventing him from maintaining a consistent practice. This was particularly perplexing because he could read other books regularly without issue. The reading he did manage felt superficial, and he could not cultivate a deep love for it. The struggle was so persistent that even his resolution to read just five verses daily did not happen with regularity, causing him distress.
