How did Kakasaheb Dixit react upon first seeing Sai Baba's portrait, and what was the significance of this moment?

When Kakasaheb Dixit's eyes first fell upon the all-captivating portrait of Sai Baba, he was overwhelmed with joy and looked at it with a prostration. As described in Chapter 51, the significance of this event was profound. The sudden appearance of the beautiful and holy photograph of the very Guru whose darshan he longed for was seen as a strange and wonderful occurrence. It felt as though the capable Sai had acted to fulfill Dixit's heart's desire, making it seem as if He had orchestrated this meeting at Mirikar's house on this very pretext.
