Initially, Amir Shakkar was very miserable about staying in the Chavadi due to his rheumatism and the building's terrible, damp, and pest-ridden conditions. However, as Chapter 22 explains, he accepted Baba's firm words as medicine and found happiness in the 'Great Prasad' of Sai's company. For a time, he stayed there happily with certain faith. But the prolonged confinement eventually wore on him. The text states that he got tired of staying in one place, and it began to feel like a prison. This desire for freedom and an end to his dependency led him to leave for Kopergaon without Baba's permission, showing his journey from misery to acceptance and finally to weariness.
From Amir Shakkar's perspective, how did his feelings about staying in the Chavadi evolve?
