Although Amir was forbidden from leaving the Chavadi to even visit the Masjid, his assigned location ironically ensured he had constant and effortless sightings of Baba. Chapter 22 details how this unique arrangement worked. Baba's path for His morning alms rounds passed directly by the Chavadi, allowing Amir to see Him as He went and returned. In the evenings, Baba would come to the front of the Chavadi to salute the directions. Most significantly, every other day Baba would sleep in the Chavadi, separated from Amir by just a plank door, providing opportunities for them to talk privately. This meant that his confinement was also a source of great fortune, granting him visions and access that others did not have.
How did Amir Shakkar's confinement to the Chavadi paradoxically grant him frequent access to Sai Baba?
