Chapter 21 begins a story about an educated officer. What details are given about him and his profession?

The latter part of the excerpts from Chapter 21 introduces a new story about a man who was highly educated in English and held a B.A. degree. He had a successful career, slowly progressing to become a renowned officer. The text mentions that he first obtained the post of Mamlatdar and later rose to become a Collector. Crucially, it is noted that by his good fortune, he obtained the company of Sai Baba. The chapter provides a metaphorical description of the Mamlatdar post, comparing it to a hill that looks beautiful from afar but is actually surrounded by thorny bushes up close, suggesting that the job was much more difficult and challenging than it appeared, despite its high status.
