Chapter 21 of the Sai Satcharitra strongly emphasizes that encountering a Saint is not a matter of mere chance or personal effort. The text states clearly that "unless good fortune dawns, one does not encounter Saints and Sages." It elaborates that even if a Saint is physically close, a "sinful person cannot see Him." This idea is further reinforced by stating that the "company of Saints is not accessible to the unfortunate" and that this union is only made easy when "God’s grace is present." The author uses his own past experience of avoiding the Siddha Pir Maulana as a prime example of how ill-luck and ego can act as barriers, proving that a divine calling and favorable destiny are necessary prerequisites.
