What were Sai Baba's living conditions like before the mosque was properly set up for him?

According to Chapter 5, before settling permanently in the mosque, Sai Baba lived for a long time in a Takia, which is a resting place for Fakirs. During his time there, he would express his divine joy by tying bells to his feet, dancing beautifully, and singing sweetly to the rhythm of a small tambourine. The text also notes that the mosque itself was in poor condition initially, with knee-deep holes in the ground. A significant change occurred around 1912 when devotees, in a single night, paved the flooring with stones, marking the beginning of the mosque's transformation into a more suitable dwelling.
