Analyzing Chapter 31, what is the connection between the practice of 'remembrance of the Name' and the story of the sannyasi Vijayananda?

Chapter 31 establishes a profound thematic link between spiritual practice and its ultimate fruition. The chapter first explains that the practice of 'remembrance of the Name' and keeping the company of saints is vital to ensure one's mind is focused on God at the time of death, thereby attaining liberation. The story of Vijayananda serves as a living illustration of this principle. He is a sincere seeker who is drawn to Shirdi, the abode of a great saint. His journey, discouragement, and ultimate encounter with Baba are framed as the process by which a devotee is drawn to a saint's feet, where they can receive the grace needed for that final, liberating remembrance.
