Despite the terrible, damp, and dirty conditions of the Chavadi, why did Amir Shakkar stay there for nine months?

Amir Shakkar endured the harsh conditions of the Chavadi for nine months out of profound faith in Sai Baba's command. Chapter 22 explains that although the external circumstances were completely contrary to healing his rheumatism, his internal faith was certain. He accepted Baba's word as the true medicine and considered the company of Sai to be the 'Great Prasad.' Baba had firmly told him not to weigh the negative aspects like wind, rain, or dampness. By happily accepting this difficult instruction, everything ultimately went well for him.
