Why did Madhavrao travel to Nagar, and what did he discover upon arrival?

Madhavrao Deshpande's journey to Nagar was prompted by an urgent telegram from his father-in-law, which stated that his mother-in-law was very ill. As Chapter 51 recounts, after receiving Baba's permission, he immediately took his family on the three o'clock train to Nagar. However, upon visiting his father-in-law's house, Madhavrao discovered that his mother-in-law's health was actually fine. The narrative frames this false alarm as a divine pretext to bring him to Nagar at the exact moment he was needed by another devotee, H.S. Dixit.
