The source material from Chapter 41 explains that Balasaheb Deo's inability to read the Dnyaneshwari stemmed from a specific internal obstacle rather than a lack of time or general discipline. The text mentions that while other books were read regularly, whenever he took the Dnyaneshwari in hand, "some doubts would arise in the heart." This internal resistance made the reading feel superficial and prevented him from developing a love for the process. This specific block was so persistent that, despite his strong intent, his resolution to read it daily would not hold, and he couldn't even manage five verses each day. The problem was unique to the Dnyaneshwari and was a source of great distress for him.
Why was Balasaheb Deo unable to read the Dnyaneshwari, even though he had a strong desire and could read other books without issue?
