Describe the sequence of meetings and significant events that solidified Kakasaheb Dixit's plan to travel to Shirdi for the first time.

Kakasaheb Dixit's first journey to Shirdi was solidified through a divinely orchestrated sequence of events. As Chapter 51 mentions, the initial 'seed-sowing' of attraction to Baba occurred during a conversation with Nana Chandorkar in Lonavala. The plan became concrete when Dixit was invited by Balasaheb Mirikar to meet Madhavrao, where they decided to take the ten o'clock train. This decision was immediately blessed by the miraculous appearance of Baba's portrait, which deeply moved Dixit and confirmed his resolve. The journey was further blessed by overcoming the obstacle of a crowded train and culminated in another 'unexpected coincidence' when they met Nana Saheb Chandorkar himself at the Kopergaon station, all heading for Baba's darshan.
