What was Maharaj's living situation like in the beginning, and how did he support himself?

As detailed in Chapter 0, when Maharaj first arrived, he mostly resided in a Masjid that was in a dilapidated state. While he would move about during the day, he consistently returned to the Masjid to stay at night. In terms of support, he did not earn an income or charge for the medicines he provided. The text mentions that if someone took him for a meal, he would go. This suggests he lived a life of renunciation, relying on the hospitality of the villagers for food while offering his healing services completely free of charge.
