What internal conflict did Amir Shakkar experience while staying in the Chavadi, and what action did this conflict lead him to take?

While staying in the Chavadi, Amir Shakkar grappled with a significant internal conflict. Externally, his situation felt like a prison sentence, yet internally, he enjoyed the rare benefit of firm companionship with Sai. As Chapter 22 recounts, after nine months, Amir grew weary of being confined to one place. The desire for freedom began to overwhelm his sense of duty and dependence, and the thought, "Enough of this prison!" arose in his mind. This inner turmoil culminated in him abandoning his post at the Chavadi and leaving for Kopergaon without obtaining Baba's permission.
