The text mentions that 'while humans make their plans, God has another plan.' How was this illustrated in the events leading to Dixit's trip to Shirdi?

This proverb is perfectly illustrated by the events described in Chapter 51 concerning H.S. Dixit's journey. While Dixit and the Mirikars were trying to formulate a human plan for his travel to Shirdi, a divine plan was already in motion. The most significant part of this divine plan was the sudden arrival of Madhavrao Deshpande in Ahmednagar. He was brought there under the false pretext of a family emergency, a telegram claiming his mother-in-law was gravely ill. This 'unexpected event' placed the ideal companion and guide for Dixit right where he was needed. The chance encounter where Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre spotted Madhavrao and connected him with Dixit further highlights how a higher power was arranging circumstances beyond human control to fulfill the devotee's heartfelt desire.
