Can you describe the author's personal failure to meet Pir Maulana as detailed in Chapter 21? Who was Pir Maulana, and why did the author avoid him?

Chapter 21 provides a candid personal account from the author, Hemadpant. He describes a time when he was the Magistrate in Bandra, where a famous Siddha named Pir Maulana lived. Pir Maulana was highly revered, attracting Hindus, Parsis, and people of other faiths for his "pure vision." The author's servant, Inus, constantly pestered him to go for the Siddha's darshan. However, as this chapter details, the author's ego and a sense of ill-fortune stood in the way. He harbored thoughts like, "Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?" As a result of this mindset, he never went to see Pir Maulana and was eventually transferred from Bandra.
