According to Chapter 21 of the Sai Satcharitra, when the author was the Magistrate of Bandra, a servant named Inus repeatedly urged him to visit the famous Siddha, Pir Maulana. The author's reaction was one of resistance driven by pride. As he explains in Chapter 21, he thought to himself, 'Thousands of people go there; Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?' He later reflects that this thinking was a sign of his misfortune at the time. He attributes his failure to go for the vision to his 'ill-luck,' stating that when destiny is not favorable, one cannot recognize or take advantage of such a spiritual opportunity.
