Despite the unique access he had to Sai Baba, Amir eventually left the Chavadi. What motivated his departure, and what was the immediate consequence?

Even though he had a privileged position, Amir Shakkar grew tired of his confinement in the Chavadi. According to Chapter 22, his mind began to desire freedom and rebel against the dependency of his situation, thinking, 'Enough of this prison!' Without seeking Baba's permission, he abandoned his post and went to a Dharmashala in Kopergaon. The immediate consequence of this action was a strange miracle: a Fakir on the verge of death asked him for water, and the moment Amir gave it to him, the Fakir's body became lifeless.
