How did Sai Baba's daily and alternate-day routines provide Amir with continuous companionship?

Sai Baba's structured routines ensured that Amir Shakkar, despite his confinement, experienced constant connection. Chapter 22 describes how Baba's daily morning walk for alms took him directly past the Chavadi, granting Amir an easy vision. In the evenings, Baba would come to the front of the Chavadi to perform a ritual salute. The most profound connection occurred on the alternate days when Baba's routine was to stay in the Chavadi. On these nights, after the Aarti, they were separated by just a door of planks and would talk with calm minds. This arrangement transformed what seemed like imprisonment into what the text calls "firm companionship with Sai," a rare benefit to enjoy.
