Who was responsible for suggesting that Damu Anna visit Shirdi in person after the disappointing letter?

Madhavrao (Shama) was the one who prompted Damu Anna to visit Shirdi. Although the primary reply from Baba was discouraging, Chapter 25 explains that within the communication sent back to Damu Anna, a hint was included. The text states, 'In that letter, it was also hinted to Damu Anna: "There is a difference between hearing and seeing; you should come here in person."' Damu Anna decided to act on this suggestion from Madhavrao, hoping that a personal visit might persuade Baba to grant permission for his business plans, thinking, 'Who knows, there might be benefit in that too.'
