What was the primary spiritual difficulty faced by Balasaheb Deo that is mentioned in the scriptures?

Balasaheb Deo's primary spiritual difficulty was his inability to consistently read the Dnyaneshwari. According to Chapter 41, despite having a great desire to read it daily, similar to how one might read the Bhagavad Gita, he constantly encountered obstacles that prevented him. While he could read other books without issue, his resolution to study the Dnyaneshwari would not hold. This struggle persisted for a long time, causing him distress as his strong intent was never fulfilled.
