Can you describe the author's personal story from his time in Bandra as narrated in Chapter 21?

In Chapter 21, the author recounts a personal story to illustrate how ill-fortune can prevent one from meeting a Saint. While serving as the Magistrate in Bandra, he was aware of a famous Siddha named Pir Maulana, who was visited by people of many faiths. The Siddha's servant, Inus, persistently urged the author to go for his vision. However, the author resisted, thinking, "Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?" He reflects in the text of Chapter 21 that he never went because ill-luck stood in his way, causing him to fear even his own shadow. Many years passed before he was transferred, having missed the opportunity to meet Pir Maulana.
