What does Chapter 21 say about the Mamlatdar who came into Sai Baba's company?

Chapter 21 introduces a man who was highly educated in English, holding a B.A. degree, and had become a renowned officer. He progressed in his career to attain the post of Mamlatdar and was later promoted to Collector. The chapter highlights that it was by his "good fortune" that he obtained the company of Sai Baba. The text also offers a realistic perspective on his job, describing the Mamlatdar post as something that looked good from the outside but was difficult in practice. It uses the metaphor of a hill that seems beautiful from a distance but is surrounded by thorny bushes up close, while still acknowledging that the position held great status.
