How did Amir Shakkar's internal faith contrast with his external circumstances during his stay in the Chavadi?

Amir Shakkar's experience presents a powerful contrast between external hardship and internal conviction. Externally, as detailed in Chapter 22, all conditions were contrary to his well-being; he was afflicted with rheumatism and forced to live in a damp, cold, and filthy place full of pests. However, the narrative emphasizes that internally, there was "certain faith." Amir accepted Baba's word as the ultimate medicine, which allowed him to stay there happily for nine months. This internal faith was the reason "everything went well," demonstrating a core spiritual lesson that firm belief in the Guru's command can override even the most adverse physical circumstances.
