Why did Balasaheb Deo's reading of the Dnyaneshwari feel superficial and lack love, according to the text?

Balasaheb Deo's inability to connect with the Dnyaneshwari stemmed from internal issues rather than a lack of desire. Chapter 41 explains that whenever he took the sacred book in hand, "some doubts would arise in the heart." This internal doubt was the root cause of his problem, leading the reading to remain superficial. Because of this superficiality, a genuine love or deep feeling for the text could not arise within him. This cycle of doubt and lack of connection caused his resolution to fail, even when he tried to commit to reading just five verses daily.
