Why did Madhavrao Deshpande suddenly travel from Shirdi to Ahmednagar, and how did this turn of events benefit H.S. Dixit?

Madhavrao Deshpande's sudden journey to Ahmednagar was prompted by a telegram from his father-in-law, which stated that his mother-in-law was very ill and he should come immediately. As described in Chapter 51, Madhavrao obtained Sai Baba's permission and rushed to Nagar with his family. However, upon arriving, he found that his mother-in-law's health was actually fine. This false alarm served a greater purpose, as it brought Madhavrao to the city just when H.S. Dixit was desperately seeking a companion to take him to Shirdi. Madhavrao's providential arrival completely solved Dixit's problem, as he was the perfect guide, being a resident of Shirdi and a devotee of Baba. His presence was seen as a 'miracle' that brought Dixit immense satisfaction and cleared his path to meet Baba.
