How does the author of the Sai Satcharitra use his own failings to illustrate a key spiritual principle in Chapter 21?

The author, Hemadpant, candidly uses his own past actions in Chapter 21 to demonstrate that meeting a Saint is dependent on grace, not personal status or will. He confesses that while he was a Magistrate in Bandra, he arrogantly dismissed the opportunity to visit the Siddha Pir Maulana. He reflects, "Thousands of people go there; Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?" By narrating his own failure to act, he proves the principle that "the company of Saints is not accessible to the unfortunate." This personal anecdote from Chapter 21 makes the teaching more impactful, showing that even a person of high standing can be blocked by their own inner obstacles and ill-luck.
