What was the role of the telegram in the story of Dixit's journey to Shirdi?

The telegram played a pivotal, albeit misleading, role in facilitating Dixit's journey. According to Chapter 51, Madhavrao's father-in-law sent a telegram from Nagar claiming his mother-in-law was very ill, urging Madhavrao to come at once. This message prompted Madhavrao to get Baba's permission and travel immediately to Nagar. However, upon arriving, he discovered his mother-in-law was in fine health. This false alarm was the catalyst that brought Madhavrao to the right place at the right time to meet Dixit and arrange their joint travel to Shirdi, illustrating a seemingly divine intervention.
