For how long was Amir Shakkar required to stay in the Chavadi, and was he able to see Sai Baba during that time?

Sai Baba ordained a stay of nine full months for Amir Shakkar in the Chavadi. A significant detail from Chapter 22 is that during this period, Amir was forbidden from even going to the Masjid for Baba's darshan. However, the location of the Chavadi itself ensured he received Baba's vision automatically and without extra effort. Baba's daily path for alms in the morning took Him right by the Chavadi, allowing Amir to see Him. Additionally, on alternate nights when Baba stayed in the Chavadi, only a nominal curtain separated them, allowing them to converse, and Amir could witness the evening Aarti and splendor.
