The beginning of the chapter talks about praying for calamities to remember God. How does Amir's story about staying in the Chavadi relate to this idea?

Amir Shakkar's story is a practical demonstration of the principle mentioned in the opening verses of Chapter 22, where a devotee prays for calamities to remain close to God. Baba's remedy for Amir's rheumatism was a great trial: a nine-month stay in the miserable and damp Chavadi. This external suffering, or "calamity," served as Baba's divine medicine. As the chapter explains, this ordeal kept Amir physically close to Baba and spiritually focused on His word. The difficult conditions, which would make one miserable, became the very means by which Amir was kept at Baba's feet, ensuring he would not forget the Lord.
