Although his stay in the Chavadi provided him with 'firm companionship with Sai,' Amir Shakkar eventually grew tired of the confinement after nine months. Chapter 22 describes how the place began to feel like a prison to him, and his mind started to desire freedom. Acting on this impulse, he made the decision to leave his designated place without obtaining Baba's permission. He abandoned his post at the Chavadi and traveled to Kopergaon, where he stayed in a Dharmashala. Immediately upon his arrival, he encountered a dying Fakir, and a strange event occurred: the moment Amir gave the thirsty man a mouthful of water, the Fakir's body became lifeless.
What happened after Amir Shakkar stayed in the Chavadi for nine months? Did he leave, and what occurred when he did?
