In Chapter 21, the author mentions a personal story about a Siddha in Bandra. Why did he refuse to visit him back then?

In Chapter 21 of the Sai Satcharitra, the author recounts his own experience when he was a Magistrate in Bandra. A famous Siddha named Pir Maulana resided there, and his servant, Inus, repeatedly urged the author to visit for his vision. However, the author admits to having thoughts of pride, wondering why he should be pressured by others and risk losing his own prestige. He reflects on this refusal as a time when ill-luck stood in his way, preventing the encounter. The chapter uses this personal story to illustrate the principle that one does not encounter Saints unless good fortune dawns and God's grace is present.
