It seems that the current version of Apple Books on Mac OS is not able to give a smooth reading experience for ebooks as large as Bhakti Sandarbha. Thus, we recommend alternative reader apps, such as Calibre (for epub file) or Kindle reader app (.mobi or azw3 file). Both apps are free of charge.
The Kindle Reader version 1.30 on Mac OS seems to be not able to open .mobi or azw3 ebook files. If you want to read with the Kindle app on your Mac we recommend to send your ebook file to your amazon kindle account by email.
Here is more info how to do so:

If you are reading only on your Mac or other Apple devices and do not need to sync your notes, highlights, and page count to a Kindle device, then you could also use other ebook reading apps, such as Apple Books, Calibre, and use the epub file instead of the mobi file.
After purchasing once in our store you will have access to two files: .epub and .mobi or azw3 so that you are free to choose on which device (e-book reader, tablet, smartphone, laptop) and with which software you prefer to read. Thus, you are not locked into a specific vendor but can read on all major devices and platforms available today, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Barnes and Nobles Nook, Kobo, Tolino, etc.
