Tell me about the highly educated officer mentioned in Chapter 21. What analogy is used to describe the nature of his job?

Chapter 21 introduces the story of a man who was highly educated in English with a B.A. degree. He progressed in his career, first becoming a Mamlatdar and later rising to the post of Collector. The chapter notes that it was by his good fortune that he came into the company of Sai Baba. To describe the nature of the Mamlatdar position, the author uses a vivid analogy. He writes that the post looked good from the outside, much "like a hill that looks beautiful from afar." However, the reality of the job was much harsher, as it was "surrounded by thorny bushes (Kajari trees) when one goes near." This metaphor, as found in Chapter 21, powerfully illustrates the contrast between the external prestige of the high-status job and its internal reality, which was filled with difficulties and challenges.
