How does the author of Sai Satcharitra, in Chapter 21, use his own failure to visit Pir Maulana to illustrate a larger spiritual principle?

📖 Chapter 21

The author, Hemadpant, shares a personal anecdote in Chapter 21 to illustrate the principle that encountering Saints requires good fortune and divine grace. He explains that while serving as a Magistrate in Bandra, he had the opportunity to visit a renowned Siddha, Pir Maulana, but his pride and "ill-luck" prevented him. He uses this past failure to demonstrate his point that "the company of Saints is not accessible to the unfortunate" and that such a meeting is "easy only when God’s grace is present." This personal story serves as a powerful example of how one's own ego can be a barrier to spiritual opportunities.
