How did Kakasaheb Dixit view his lameness, and what did he ask of Sai Baba regarding it?

Kakasaheb Dixit displayed a profound spiritual understanding regarding his physical condition. As explained in chapter 4, he did not consider his physical lameness to be a significant deficiency. When it was suggested that Sai Baba could cure his leg, Dixit's focus was elsewhere. He believed that the "real lameness is of the mind" and told Sai to remove that instead. He viewed the physical body as a temporary vessel, a "worldly carriage" made of skin, blood, meat, and bones, and was content to let his leg remain lame while he sought a deeper, spiritual healing from the Master.
