How did Amir Shakkar's internal faith contrast with the external conditions he faced, and what was Baba's core instruction to him?

Amir Shakkar's trial presents a powerful contrast between external hardship and internal faith. Externally, all conditions were contrary; he had rheumatism, and the Chavadi was damp, cold, and uncomfortable. However, as Chapter 22 states, he had certain faith internally, which allowed everything to go well. Baba's core instruction, which served as his medicine, was a command to completely disregard the physical circumstances. Baba's firm words to him were: "Wind, rain, or dampness, Whether the place is high, low, or deep—do not weigh them." By accepting Baba's word as the ultimate medicine and staying happily despite the doubtful place, his faith triumphed over the adverse environment.
