What were the living conditions like for Amir Shakkar when Baba told him to stay in the Chavadi?

The conditions in the Chavadi where Amir Shakkar was instructed to stay were exceptionally harsh. Chapter 22 paints a grim picture of the place, describing it as ancient, dilapidated, and a haven for lizards and poisonous scorpions. The text mentions that lepers also stayed there, garbage was piled high, and the ground was riddled with seventeen knee-deep holes. Compounding these issues were the elements, with "rain from above, dampness from below," and a constant, chilling wind. It was in this miserable environment that Amir had to live for nine months based on Baba's command.
