How does Hemadpant's failure to visit Pir Maulana demonstrate the main spiritual lesson of Chapter 21?

📖 Chapter 21

Hemadpant's personal story about Pir Maulana serves as the primary evidence for the chapter's central theme. In Chapter 21, he explains that meeting a saint is not a casual act but requires divine grace and good fortune; it is "not accessible to the unfortunate." His own experience is the perfect illustration. Despite the saint being geographically close and despite being repeatedly invited, Hemadpant's ego and sense of prestige—which he calls his "ill-luck"—prevented the meeting. This personal failure powerfully demonstrates the principle that one cannot approach a saint through mere effort or proximity; a spiritual readiness and God's sanction are essential for such a blessed union to occur.
