Can you tell me about the author's personal story about the Siddha in Bandra mentioned in Chapter 21?

In Chapter 21, the author shares a personal experience to illustrate how ill-fortune can prevent someone from meeting a Saint. When he was a Magistrate in Bandra, a famous Siddha named Pir Maulana lived there. The Siddha's servant, Inus, repeatedly urged the author to come for his vision. However, the author resisted, thinking it was beneath his prestige to be pressured into going. He reflects that he never went because "one fears one's own shadow when ill-luck stands in the way." Many years passed, and he was transferred, only later finding his unbreakable bond with Shirdi, highlighting that the company of Saints requires divine grace.
