For how long was Amir Shakkar commanded to stay in the Chavadi, and what specific restriction was placed upon him during this time?

The texts in Chapter 22 specify that a stay of nine months was ordained for Amir Shakkar in the dilapidated Chavadi. During this entire period, a significant restriction was placed upon him. He was expressly forbidden from coming to the Masjid, even for a vision of Sai Baba. This command forced him to remain in the Chavadi, trusting that Baba's plan, which seemed like a hardship, was ultimately for his benefit. This restriction ironically led to him receiving Baba's vision automatically due to the Chavadi's location on Baba's daily route.
