Describe H.S. Dixit's emotional state before his first trip to Shirdi and how his anxiety was resolved.

While in Ahmednagar for election-related work, H.S. Dixit was consumed by a single, overwhelming worry: how to get to Shirdi and meet Sai Baba. Chapter 51 explains that his only focus was on this pilgrimage, and he was anxious about finding someone to accompany him and present him at Baba's feet. He even appealed to the Mirikars for assistance in his quest. His profound anxiety was finally resolved by the unexpected arrival of Madhavrao Deshpande, a resident of Shirdi. When Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre spotted Madhavrao and arranged for him to meet Dixit, Dixit's worry vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of great satisfaction and joy.
