What was the interaction between the Madrasi sannyasi and Swami Somdevji in Shirdi, and how did it affect the sannyasi's state of mind as described in Chapter 31?

In Chapter 31, we learn that when the sannyasi Vijayananda arrived in Shirdi, he had a chance meeting with Swami Somdevji of Haridwar. The sannyasi inquired about the distance to Mansarovar. Swami Somdevji's reply was discouraging; he described the journey as being 500 miles long, with heavy snowfall, changing languages, and significant hardships for outsiders. As Chapter 31 narrates, hearing this news directly from the Swami's mouth caused the sannyasi to become dejected, and his mind grew distressed and immersed in worry, casting a shadow over his pilgrimage plans.
