How long was Amir Shakkar required to stay in the Chavadi, and were there any restrictions placed upon him?

Amir Shakkar's stay in the Chavadi was ordained for a period of nine months. Chapter 22 explains that during this extended time, a significant restriction was placed on him: he was forbidden from even going to the Masjid for Baba's darshan (vision). This must have been a considerable hardship, as seeing Baba was a cherished activity for all devotees. Despite this prohibition and the miserable physical conditions of the Chavadi, Amir's faith remained firm, and he complied with Baba's instructions completely.
