What was Kakasaheb Dixit's primary motivation for seeking out Sai Baba, and what was he doing in Ahmednagar at the time?

Kakasaheb Dixit's main motivation for seeking Sai Baba was a deep spiritual restlessness. He felt he had exhausted himself with spiritual practices but found his mind remained unsteady and would slip away uncontrollably. As detailed in Chapter 51, he expressed a desire to have Baba's darshan and pray for Him to "remove the lameness of my mind." At that time, Dixit was not on a spiritual pilgrimage but was in Ahmednagar to gather public support for his election to the Legislative Council, a task that had people busy everywhere.
