Can you tell me about the educated officer who was fortunate enough to meet Sai Baba, as described in Chapter 21?

Towards the end of the provided excerpts from Chapter 21, a new story begins about a specific devotee. This man was highly educated in English, holding a B.A. degree. He had a successful career, progressing from an officer to a Mamlatdar and eventually rising to the post of Collector. The chapter explicitly notes that it was due to his "good fortune" that he obtained the company of Sai Baba. The text also offers a realistic perspective on his job as a Mamlatdar, describing it as a post that looked appealing from a distance but was difficult up close, like a beautiful hill surrounded by thorny bushes.
