Amir was forbidden from visiting the Masjid. How, then, did he manage to get Sai Baba's darshan?

Although Amir Shakkar was forbidden from going to the Masjid for a vision, the location of the Chavadi itself facilitated frequent darshan, as explained in Chapter 22. Baba's daily morning route for alms took him directly past the Chavadi, allowing Amir to see him both coming and going without leaving his post. Additionally, every evening, Baba would come in front of the Chavadi to salute the directions. Most significantly, on every alternate night when Baba stayed in the Chavadi, there was only a nominal curtain and a plank door separating them, allowing for direct conversation after other devotees had left.
