What was the catalyst for Kaka Saheb Dixit's journey to Shirdi, and what was his primary request to Sai Baba?

Kaka Saheb Dixit's journey to Sai Baba was set in motion by what appeared to be an unfortunate event. As explained in Chapter 4, while Dixit was in England, he injured his foot, which resulted in a permanent limp. This incident, however, is described as a 'Guru-Pushyamrit' yoga, an auspicious occurrence that led him to meet Sai. When he finally had Baba's darshan, he did not prioritize his physical ailment. Instead of asking for his lameness to be cured, he told Sai that the 'real lameness is of the mind' and asked Baba to remove that spiritual deficiency, demonstrating his profound understanding and devotion.
