The Chavadi, where Sai Baba instructed Amir Shakkar to reside, was in a state of extreme disrepair. Chapter 22 paints a vivid picture of its squalor. The building was described as very old, dilapidated, and a place where lizards, house lizards, and poisonous scorpions lived freely. The text mentions that lepers also stayed there, and the area was unsanitary, with dogs eating leftovers. The back part was filled with garbage and had seventeen knee-deep holes. Compounding these issues were the environmental factors: constant dampness from below, rain from above, and a general chaos of wind and cold, making it a truly miserable place for a person to live.
Can you describe the living conditions of the Chavadi when Amir was told to stay there?
