Chapter 21 establishes a direct and crucial link between good fortune and the ability to attain the company of Saints. The chapter posits that unless good fortune dawns, one simply does not encounter these holy beings. This is not about luck in a conventional sense, but about a state of spiritual readiness and divine grace. The author's own failure to visit Pir Maulana, as recounted in this chapter, is attributed to his own ill-luck and pride standing in the way. The key takeaway from Chapter 21 is that the 'company of Saints is not accessible to the unfortunate' and that this sacred union is only made easy when God’s grace is present, making good fortune a prerequisite for such a spiritual experience.
From the perspective of Chapter 21, what is the relationship between 'good fortune' and having the 'company of Saints'?
