What conditions does one need to meet in order to get the company of a saint, according to the Satcharitra?

According to the teachings in Chapter 21, the opportunity to meet a saint is not easily obtained and is dependent on divine factors. The text states explicitly that 'unless good fortune dawns, one does not encounter Saints and Sages' and that this union is made easy 'only when God’s grace is present.' The author uses his own experience of avoiding Pir Maulana as an example, explaining how ill-luck and personal pride can act as barriers. Even if a saint is physically near, the 'unfortunate' or 'sinful person cannot see Him,' implying that spiritual readiness and divine will are essential prerequisites.
