What was Balasaheb Deo's main spiritual struggle, and how did he decide to resolve it?

Balasaheb Deo's primary spiritual struggle was his inability to consistently read the sacred text Dnyaneshwari, despite having a great desire to do so. As described in Chapter 41, various obstacles would always arise, preventing him from maintaining a daily practice. Even when he took a three-month leave from work, he could not accomplish his goal, as doubts would fill his heart and make the reading superficial. After failing to even read five verses daily, he became distressed and made a firm resolution. He decided to completely surrender the issue to his Guru, vowing that he would only start reading the Dnyaneshwari when Sai Baba Himself gave him the direct order and the love for it.
