Why did the author of Sai Satcharitra initially fail to meet the saint in Bandra, and what did he learn from it?

In Chapter 21, the author, Hemadpant, recounts his personal experience while serving as a Magistrate in Bandra. He was repeatedly urged by a man named Inus to visit a famous Siddha, Pir Maulana. However, due to his pride and ego, Hemadpant resisted, questioning why he should be pressured and risk his prestige. He reflects that this failure to seek the saint's vision was due to his own "ill-luck" standing in the way. He learned a profound lesson from this, which he shares in the chapter: the company of saints is not accessible to the unfortunate and is only possible when good fortune dawns and God's grace is present. This personal story serves as a powerful illustration of the need for humility.
