Can you tell me about the author's personal story in Chapter 21 where he missed an opportunity to meet a saint?

In Chapter 21, the author, Hemadpant, recounts a personal experience from when he was a Magistrate in Bandra. A famous Siddha named Pir Maulana resided there, and his servant, Inus, persistently urged the author to come for his vision. However, due to pride and what he later calls "ill-luck," the author refused, thinking, "Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?" He reflects that many years passed before he was transferred, and only later, when his "unbreakable bond" with Shirdi was formed, did he realize his mistake. This story, as narrated in Chapter 21, serves as a personal testament to his point that one needs good fortune to encounter Saints.
