What was the reason for Madhavrao Deshpande's unexpected arrival in Ahmednagar, and how did it help Dixit?

Madhavrao Deshpande's sudden appearance in Ahmednagar was a pivotal moment for H.S. Dixit. As detailed in Chapter 51, Madhavrao's father-in-law sent a telegram claiming his wife was very ill, urging him to come immediately. After getting Sai Baba's permission, Madhavrao rushed to Nagar. This summons, however, appeared to be a pretext, as his mother-in-law was found to be in fine health. His arrival was providential because Dixit was desperately seeking a companion for his Shirdi trip. Madhavrao, being a resident of Shirdi and a known devotee, was the ideal guide. His presence directly led to the arrangement of their joint travel, fulfilling Dixit's deep longing to meet Baba.
