Kakasaheb Dixit's first journey to Shirdi was marked by a remarkable string of coincidences, which devotees see as Baba's leela. As Chapter 51 recounts, it began when Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre spotted Madhavrao Deshpande and sent him to meet Dixit at Mirikar's house. There, a plan was made to travel that night. Then, a repaired portrait of Baba, which had been with Balasaheb Mirikar, was revealed and entrusted to them for the journey. When they reached the station, the train was full, but a guard who knew Dixit arranged first-class seats. Finally, upon arriving at Kopergaon station, they unexpectedly met Nana Saheb Chandorkar, who was also on his way to see Baba. Chapter 51 presents this sequence as a clear sign of Baba orchestrating events to bring his devotee to him.
