Why did the narrator of Sai Satcharitra fail to visit the saint Pir Maulana when he was in Bandra?

In Chapter 21, the narrator, Hemadpant, recounts his personal experience while serving as a Magistrate in Bandra. A famous Siddha named Pir Maulana lived there, and his servant, Inus, constantly urged Hemadpant to come for his darshan. However, Hemadpant admits that due to his own pride and concern for his prestige, he resisted, thinking, "Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?" He reflects on this as a period of "ill-luck" that stood in his way, preventing him from seeking the company of the saint despite his proximity. He was eventually transferred from Bandra without ever having the vision, using this story to illustrate that meeting a saint requires good fortune.
