Why would a holy man like Dixit travel to 'unreligious' England instead of traditional Indian pilgrimage sites?

Chapter 4 addresses this very question, explaining that it might seem strange for a devout man to go to England. However, the text clarifies that Dixit's merit was already established, as he had effectively completed pilgrimages to sacred places like Kashi, Prayag, and Dwarka. His journey to England was a unique part of his destiny. It was there that he sustained an injury that, paradoxically, became the blessed event that led him to his ultimate pilgrimage: the sight of Sai Baba. This trip was the unconventional path through which his past deeds were compensated, leading to his meeting with the Guru.
