Describe the physical state of the Chavadi where Baba instructed Amir Shakkar to stay. Why was this considered a form of 'medicine'?

📖 Chapter 22

The Chavadi was an old, dilapidated, and utterly wretched place. Chapter 22 vividly describes its squalor: it was home to lizards and poisonous scorpions, frequented by lepers and dogs, and had garbage piled in the back with seventeen knee-deep holes. The environment was marked by rain from above and dampness from below. Baba's 'medicine' was His word, a test of faith. He commanded Amir to ignore the wind, rain, dampness, and other hardships. The cure lay in accepting Baba's command as the ultimate remedy and maintaining internal faith despite the contrary external conditions, thus turning a physical trial into a spiritual treatment.
