The author of Sai Satcharitra mentions a personal failure to visit a saint. Can you tell me that story from Chapter 21 and the lesson he learned?

📖 Chapter 21

In Chapter 21 of the Sai Satcharitra, the author, Hemadpant, recounts his own experience while serving as a Magistrate in Bandra. He was repeatedly urged by a man named Inus to visit a famous Siddha, Pir Maulana. However, due to pride and what he calls "ill-luck," he refused, thinking he shouldn't be pressured and risk his prestige. Many years passed, and he was transferred without ever seeing the saint. He uses this story to illustrate a key principle discussed in Chapter 21: one needs good fortune and God's grace to encounter Saints, as misfortune and ego can act as significant barriers, even when a holy person is nearby.
