How does Hemadpant's personal anecdote in Chapter 21 connect the idea of needing grace to meet a Saint with the concept that all Saints are fundamentally one?

Chapter 21 masterfully synthesizes two key spiritual concepts using the author's personal story. First, Hemadpant's failure to visit Pir Maulana in Bandra, which he blames on his own ego and "ill-luck," powerfully illustrates the principle that one needs good fortune and God's grace to even see a Saint who is nearby. This experience sets the stage for the second, deeper concept. The chapter then explains that all Saints, whether it's Pir Maulana in Bandra or Sai Baba in Shirdi, are "essentially inseparable from one another." By contrasting his past failure with his later "unbreakable bond" with Shirdi, the author implies that his destined connection was with Baba. This narrative arc reinforces that the union with a Saint happens only at the right time through grace, and that the specific form of the Saint is less important than the underlying, unified spiritual reality they all represent, as described in Chapter 21.
