In Chapter 21, the author, Hemadpant, recounts a personal experience from his time as a Magistrate in Bandra. A famous Siddha named Pir Maulana resided there, and his servant, Inus, persistently urged Hemadpant to go for his darshan. However, due to his own pride and what he later terms "ill-luck," Hemadpant refused, thinking he shouldn't be pressured by others. He reflects on this years later, realizing that his own negative mindset prevented the encounter. As Chapter 21 explains, he uses this story to illustrate the principle that one needs good fortune to meet Saints, and that without it, even if a Saint is nearby, one cannot see them.
The author of Sai Satcharitra mentions a personal story about not meeting a saint. Can you tell me about that?
