The source material in Chapter 41 suggests that Balasaheb Deo's inability to read the Dnyaneshwari was a unique spiritual obstacle rather than a matter of simple discipline. Although he could read other books without any problems, whenever he took the Dnyaneshwari in hand, "some doubts would arise in the heart." This internal state caused his reading to remain superficial and prevented a feeling of love or deep connection from developing. His struggle was so profound that even a resolution to read just five verses daily did not succeed. This led him to conclude that he needed a direct sign or command from Sai Baba to overcome this specific block.
Why was Balasaheb Deo unable to read the Dnyaneshwari, even though he could read other books regularly?
