What paradox is presented in the story of Amir Shakkar regarding his restriction from visiting the Masjid?

πŸ“– Chapter 22

The story of Amir Shakkar presents a beautiful paradox concerning his spiritual access to Sai Baba. Chapter 22 states that during his nine-month stay in the Chavadi, Amir was explicitly forbidden from going to the Masjid for Baba's vision. On the surface, this appears to be a harsh restriction. However, the paradox is that this very restriction led to him receiving Baba's darshan more easily and intimately than others. His assigned post meant he saw Baba pass by every morning and evening, and on alternate nights, he had the privilege of private conversations. This demonstrates that surrendering to the Guru's will, even when it seems counterintuitive, can lead to greater spiritual rewards.
