How did Hemantpant reconcile his initial reluctance to visit Shirdi with his eventual journey, from a philosophical standpoint?

Hemantpant viewed his journey to Shirdi through the lens of destiny's inescapable power. In Chapter 2, he articulates this philosophy by stating, "Nothing works against destiny; it dragged me to Shirdi." Despite his self-admitted fickleness of mind and procrastination, he believed that his visit was not merely a matter of his own will but a predetermined event. He saw the timely advice from the stranger on the train and other fortunate coincidences as proof that destiny was ensuring his path to Baba. This perspective allowed him to see past his own hesitations and recognize a greater force at play, guiding him to his spiritual destination.
