Can you explain the author's experience with Pir Maulana of Bandra as described in Chapter 21? Why did he not visit him?

As detailed in Chapter 21, the author served as a Magistrate in Bandra, where a well-known Siddha, Pir Maulana, lived. Many people from various faiths sought his vision, and the author's own servant, Inus, persistently urged him to go. However, the author resisted, thinking to himself, "Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?" He later reflects that this refusal was due to his "ill-luck" standing in the way. This experience serves as a personal testament to the chapter's teaching that encountering a Saint requires good fortune and divine grace, not just physical proximity.
