Can you recount the author's personal story from Chapter 21 involving Pir Maulana and explain its significance?

In Chapter 21, the author shares a personal story to prove that one needs good fortune to get the company of Saints. When he was a Magistrate in Bandra, a servant named Inus constantly urged him to visit a famous Siddha, Pir Maulana. Despite many people from various faiths going for his vision, the author resisted, thinking it would diminish his prestige to be pressured into it. He reflects that this was due to ill-luck standing in his way. He never did visit and was eventually transferred. This entire experience, as narrated in Chapter 21, serves as a powerful lesson that one's own ego and misfortune can act as a veil, preventing a person from recognizing and benefiting from a spiritual opportunity right in front of them.
