Sai Baba's treatment for Amir Shakkar's rheumatism was entirely unconventional and based on faith. As narrated in Chapter 22, when Amir prayed for a remedy, Baba's response was not a physical medicine but a simple, firm instruction to stay in the Chavadi. The text explicitly states, "Baba's medicine was only His word." He was told to disregard the miserable conditions of the place—the wind, rain, and dampness—and simply obey. The cure was in accepting Baba's word as the ultimate "Great Prasad," and his healing was tied to his internal faith and steadfast obedience rather than any external remedy.
