What was so strange about Deo's inability to read the Dnyaneshwari, especially when he tried reading it during his three-month leave?

Balasaheb Deo's problem with the Dnyaneshwari was particularly perplexing because it was a unique spiritual block, not an issue of time or discipline in general. Chapter 41 explains that while he could read other regular books without any issue, the Dnyaneshwari was different. Even when he took a three-month leave and went to his home in Ponda to rest, a period where he accomplished other tasks and readings, his desire to read the Dnyaneshwari remained unfulfilled. The text notes that whenever he took the book in hand, doubts would surface, the reading remained superficial, and genuine love for the text did not arise. This highlights that the obstacle wasn't logistical but a deeper spiritual challenge that he felt only Sai Baba could resolve for him.
