How does the narrative of Dixit's travel arrangements to Shirdi demonstrate the theme of divine will overriding human efforts?

The story powerfully illustrates the theme that "while humans make their plans, God has another plan." As described in Chapter 51, H.S. Dixit and the Mirikars were engaged in serious discussions and planning about who should accompany Dixit to Shirdi, a process filled with human effort and anxiety. However, their plans were superseded by a series of events that seemed divinely orchestrated. The misleading telegram that brought Madhavrao to Nagar, the chance encounter with Panshe and Gadre, and the fact that Madhavrao's mother-in-law was actually fine all point to a higher power arranging the perfect guide for Dixit, demonstrating that his strong desire was met with divine compassion.
