How did a series of seemingly miraculous events lead Kakasaheb Dixit to Shirdi?

Kakasaheb Dixit's journey to Shirdi was preceded by what the text describes as a series of strange but divinely orchestrated events. As detailed in Chapter 51, the initial seed of devotion was planted during a conversation with Nana in Lonavala. The defining moment occurred when a captivating portrait of Sai Baba, which had been covered and stored at Balasaheb Mirikar’s house, was suddenly unveiled and handed to him by Madhavrao. Dixit was overwhelmed with joy, feeling that the very image of the Guru he longed to see had appeared before him. This event, which the text suggests was an act of the 'capable Sai' to fulfill Dixit's inner desire, solidified his resolve to travel to Shirdi.
