The arrival of Sai Baba's portrait for Kakasaheb Dixit to see was a remarkable event. According to Chapter 51, Balasaheb had entrusted a portrait of Baba to Madhavrao to be taken to Shirdi. It was at Kakasaheb Mirikar's house that Madhavrao unveiled this portrait. When Kakasaheb Dixit's eyes first fell upon the 'all-captivating portrait,' he was 'overwhelmed with joy' and prostrated before it. The text in Chapter 51 describes his eyes as being 'transfixed' by the beautiful and holy photograph. This was a profound moment for Dixit, as the very image of the one whose darshan he longed for had appeared right before him, filling him with extreme delight.
