What does Chapter 21 say about the role of 'good fortune' or 'God's grace' in meeting a Saint?

📖 Chapter 21

Chapter 21 heavily emphasizes that encountering a Saint is not a simple matter but requires divine grace and good fortune. The text clearly states, "this company of Saints is not accessible to the unfortunate; It is easy only when God’s grace is present." The author illustrates this with his own failure to visit the Siddha Pir Maulana, attributing it to his "ill-luck" standing in the way. As further detailed in Chapter 21, the principle is that unless good fortune dawns, a person, even a sinful one, cannot truly see a Saint, even if that Saint is right beside them. This highlights that spiritual meetings are a result of divine sanction rather than mere human effort or proximity.
