Who was the educated officer introduced in Chapter 21, and what do we learn about his career and connection to Sai Baba?

The latter part of Chapter 21 introduces a new story about a man who was highly educated in English and held a B.A. degree. The text states that by good fortune, he obtained the company of Sai Baba. We learn about his professional life, noting that he slowly progressed in his career to become a renowned officer. Specifically, he obtained the post of Mamlatdar, which is described as looking good from the outside but being difficult in reality, like a beautiful hill surrounded by thorny bushes. As mentioned in Chapter 21, he rose even further in his career to become a Collector.
