What led Kakasaheb Dixit to seek out Sai Baba for the first time?

Kakasaheb Dixit was experiencing significant spiritual distress, feeling that his mind was unsteady and would slip away despite his best efforts at self-control. As detailed in Chapter 51, he described his mind as "lame" and felt he had exhausted himself with spiritual practices to no avail. Hearing about Sai Baba, he became determined to seek His darshan, sincerely praying that Baba could remove this "lameness" of his mind. He was indifferent to perishable bodily comforts and longed for ultimate bliss, a quality that Sai Baba appreciates in a devotee.
