Why did Amir Shakkar decide to leave the Chavadi, and what was the immediate consequence of his departure?

Chapter 22 narrates that after staying in the Chavadi for an extended period, Amir Shakkar grew weary of the confinement. Although he had the benefit of Baba's company, the stay began to feel like a prison, and his mind started to desire freedom from the dependency. Feeling he had enough of this 'prison,' he made the decision to leave without seeking Baba's permission. He abandoned his post and went to Kopergaon, where he stayed in a Dharmashala. Immediately upon his arrival there, he encountered a dying Fakir who was desperate for water. When Amir gave him water, the Fakir drank it and immediately became lifeless.
