Why did Amir Shakkar decide to leave the Chavadi, and what strange event occurred immediately after he left?

After nine months, Amir Shakkar grew tired of his confinement in the Chavadi. Chapter 22 recounts that the stay began to feel like a prison to him, and his mind, which naturally desires freedom, started to rebel. Thinking, "Enough of this prison!", he left his assigned place and went to Kopergaon without Baba's permission. The text then describes a peculiar and immediate event: upon arriving at a Dharmashala, he found a Fakir on the verge of death from thirst. Amir felt pity and gave him water, but the very moment the Fakir drank it, his body became lifeless.
