In Chapter 21 of the Satcharitra, the author shares a personal story about a saint he didn't visit. Can you tell me about that?

Yes, in Chapter 21 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the author, Hemadpant, recounts a personal experience from when he was a Magistrate in Bandra. There was a famous Siddha named Pir Maulana whom many people of various faiths visited. The Siddha's servant, Inus, persistently urged Hemadpant to come for his vision. However, due to his own pride and what he describes as ill-luck, Hemadpant resisted, thinking, "Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?" He never went to see Pir Maulana and was eventually transferred. He uses this story as a personal testament to the principle that one cannot encounter Saints and Sages unless good fortune dawns, as even being nearby is not enough if one's time has not come.
