Despite being forbidden from visiting the Masjid, how did Amir Shakkar still manage to receive Sai Baba's darshan during his nine-month stay in the Chavadi?

Although Amir was forbidden from coming to the Masjid, his assigned residence in the Chavadi ironically provided him with ample opportunities for Sai Baba's vision. Chapter 22 details how this happened automatically and without effort. Baba's daily path for alms in the morning took Him right by the Chavadi, allowing Amir to see Him as He went and came. Similarly, Baba would come in front of the Chavadi every evening. On the alternate nights Baba stayed in the Chavadi, they were separated only by a plank door and a nominal curtain, allowing them to converse after other devotees had left.
