The source text mentions a prayer asking for calamities. How does this philosophical idea relate to Amir Shakkar's experience in the Chavadi?

Chapter 22 introduces a profound prayer: "Give me a constant series of sorrows, so I do not forget Your name." This theme is directly embodied in Amir Shakkar's story. Baba's instruction for Amir to stay in the dilapidated Chavadi was, in effect, a prescribed calamity. The place was full of suffering: dampness, cold, holes, and vermin. By accepting this hardship based purely on his faith in Baba's word, Amir's devotion was tested and strengthened. His ordeal demonstrates the principle in the prayer; the 'sorrow' of the Chavadi kept him constantly focused on Baba, whose company was the 'Great Prasad.' His external suffering led to internal faith and eventual deliverance.
