What personal experience does the author of Sai Satcharitra share in Chapter 21 to illustrate the difficulty of meeting saints without good fortune?

📖 Chapter 21

In Chapter 21 of the Sai Satcharitra, the author, Hemadpant, recounts a personal story from his time as a Magistrate in Bandra. He explains that he was constantly urged by a man named Inus to visit a famous local Siddha, Pir Maulana. However, due to his own pride and what he refers to as "ill-luck," Hemadpant resisted, thinking, "Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?" He reflects that this refusal to see the saint, who was so near, was a result of his misfortune standing in the way. This personal anecdote serves as a powerful example of the chapter's teaching that one needs good fortune and grace to have the company of saints.
