Can you explain the profound impact the first meeting with Sai Baba had on Kakasaheb Dixit, both emotionally and in terms of his future life?

The first meeting with Sai Baba had a transformative effect on Kakasaheb Dixit, impacting him emotionally, physically, and setting the course for the rest of his life. As described in Chapter 51, the moment Dixit saw Sai, his heart melted and his eyes filled with tears. When Baba revealed that he had been waiting for him, Dixit's body experienced horripilation, his throat choked, and his mind was immersed in joy. He embraced Baba's feet, feeling immense fulfillment. This profound initial experience solidified his devotion completely. The chapter further notes that for years after, his faith became fixed at Sai’s feet, he earned Baba's full grace, and dedicated his life to service, even building a wada in Shirdi to better serve Baba and remain in his presence.
