How did Dixit view his physical lameness, and what did he ask of Sai Baba instead of a cure?

When Chandorkar suggested that seeing Sai Baba would cure his lameness, Dixit displayed a profound spiritual perspective. According to Chapter 4, Dixit did not consider his physical lameness a significant deficiency. He believed the true affliction was the "lameness of the mind" and implored Sai to remove that instead. He saw the physical body as merely a temporary vessel, a "worldly carriage" made of skin, blood, meat, and bones. Therefore, he was content to let his leg remain lame, prioritizing his spiritual healing over physical recovery, a testament to his deep faith.
