Despite being forbidden from visiting the Masjid, how did Amir Shakkar's stay in the Chavadi ironically grant him constant access to Sai Baba?

Amir Shakkar's confinement to the Chavadi paradoxically provided him with more consistent access to Sai Baba than others might have had. Although he was forbidden from going to the Masjid for a vision for nine months, his assigned place was directly on Baba's daily route. Chapter 22 details how this unique positioning worked to his advantage. Every morning, Amir got an easy vision of Baba while He went for and returned from alms. Similarly, every evening, Baba would come in front of the Chavadi. Most importantly, on alternate nights, Baba Himself resided in the Chavadi, separated from Amir by just a nominal curtain and a plank door, allowing them to talk with calm minds after other devotees had left. This situation, described in chapter 22, transformed what seemed like imprisonment into a rare and fortunate 'firm companionship with Sai'.
