In Chapter 21, Hemadpant masterfully links his personal story to a deeper spiritual teaching. He recounts his failure to visit the revered Siddha, Pir Maulana, due to his own pride and ill-fortune while he was a Magistrate in Bandra. He presents this as a direct example of the principle that the company of Saints is not accessible to the unfortunate without God's grace. He then broadens this personal lesson to explain the "secret arrangements" of Saints. He notes that while that opportunity was missed, the time eventually came for him to form an "unbreakable bond" with Shirdi. This transition illustrates that Saints like Pir Maulana and Sai Baba, though appearing in different places, are inwardly one and inseparable. His experience highlights that divine encounters are orchestrated by a higher power according to a divine timeline, not by human will, demonstrating the hidden, unified workings of all Saints.
