Initially, Kakasaheb Dixit was in a state of great distress and anxiety. Chapter 51 describes his emotional turmoil with the phrase "overwhelming worry," as he was singularly focused on how he could get to Shirdi and who would introduce him to Sai Baba. However, his emotional state underwent a complete transformation upon learning of Madhavrao Deshpande's arrival. When Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre gave him the news that Shirdi's own priest was in town, his "worry vanished and he felt great satisfaction." The arrival of a trusted guide directly from Shirdi instantly alleviated his fears and filled him with the joy and relief of knowing his path to Baba was now clear.
