Kaka Saheb Dixit held a remarkably spiritual view of his physical affliction. As recounted in Chapter 4, although he became lame from an accident in England, he did not consider it a true deficiency. When Nanasaheb Chandorkar suggested Sai Baba could cure his leg, Dixit's focus was elsewhere. He expressed to Sai that the real lameness is that of the mind, and it was this inner ailment he wished to have removed. He viewed the physical body as a temporary 'worldly carriage' made of skin, blood, meat, and bones, and was therefore content to let his leg remain lame, prioritizing spiritual healing above all.
