The chapter about Amir Shakkar begins with a prayer for calamities. What is that prayer and how does it relate to Amir's story?

Chapter 22 begins by recalling the story of Kunti, who, despite suffering infinite calamities, prayed to God for more sorrows. She reasoned, "Give me a constant series of sorrows, so I do not forget Your name." This sets a powerful theme for the subsequent story of Amir Shakkar. Amir was afflicted with rheumatism and sought deliverance from his sorrow. Baba's prescribed "remedy" was not one of comfort but of extreme hardship: staying in the dilapidated, damp, and foul Chavadi. This difficult situation was a test of faith, mirroring Kunti's prayer. By enduring the "calamity" of the Chavadi, Amir was meant to stay close to Baba and constantly remember him.
