Based on the introductory chapter, what were the conditions of the Masjid and what were the first two improvement attempts by devotees?

The Introduction (Chapter 0) describes the Masjid where Maharaj stayed as being in a state of disrepair. It was noted as being 'completely dilapidated,' with dust below and mud falling from the roof. The first improvement attempt mentioned was by Nanasaheb Dengle, who brought a thick wooden plank for Maharaj to sleep on to avoid the bare ground. The second attempt was by Gopalrao Gund, who collected stones to completely rebuild the Masjid. However, Maharaj did not permit the reconstruction, instead directing that the stones be used for building and renovating other village temples.
