Can you tell me about the government officer mentioned in Chapter 21 who was a devotee of Sai Baba? What was his background and how was his job described?

πŸ“– Chapter 21

Chapter 21 introduces a story about a man who, by good fortune, obtained the company of Sai Baba. This individual was described as 'highly educated in English' and possessed a B.A. degree. He had a successful career as an officer, starting as a Mamlatdar and eventually being promoted to the post of Collector. The text uses a vivid metaphor to describe his job as a Mamlatdar, stating that while it looked good from the outside, 'like a hill that looks beautiful from afar,' it was actually very challenging up close, as if 'surrounded by thorny bushes.' This suggests that despite the high status and external appeal of his position, it came with significant difficulties.
