Despite the terrible living conditions in the Chavadi, what were the unique spiritual benefits Amir Shakkar received?

Although the Chavadi was physically miserable, it offered unparalleled spiritual benefits. Chapter 22 explains that while the stay felt like imprisonment externally, it provided firm companionship with Sai internally. The primary benefit was that Baba's vision happened automatically without effort. Amir got to see Baba every morning and evening as He passed the Chavadi on His daily routes. Furthermore, on every alternate night when Baba stayed in the Chavadi, there was only a nominal curtain and a plank door between them. After other devotees left, the two would talk with calm minds, a rare privilege of intimacy not easily enjoyed by others.
