When Amir Shakkar sought relief from rheumatism, Sai Baba prescribed a nine-month stay in the dilapidated Chavadi. Chapter 22 tells us this place was full of hardships, including dampness, cold, garbage, and pests. Amir became miserable, but no argument worked before Baba. He was even forbidden from visiting the Masjid. However, Amir accepted Baba's word as his medicine and stayed with faith. This obedience was rewarded, as his location ensured he saw Baba daily during His morning and evening routines. On nights Baba stayed in the Chavadi, they would converse, separated only by a thin partition, making his difficult stay a spiritually fulfilling one.
Can you recount the story of Amir Shakkar's nine-month stay in the Chavadi as a treatment for his illness?
