According to Chapter 21, the ability to meet a saint is not a simple matter but depends entirely on divine will and personal fortune. The text states explicitly that 'this company of Saints is not accessible to the unfortunate' and is easy to attain 'only when God’s grace is present.' The author uses his own failure to visit Pir Maulana as an example, concluding that 'one fears one's own shadow when ill-luck stands in the way.' The chapter posits that unless good fortune dawns, a sinful person cannot even perceive a saint who is right beside them, making divine grace the ultimate prerequisite.
