Sai Baba's advice to Amir Shakkar regarding the difficult living conditions was a test of faith. According to Chapter 22, Baba gave him firm words, instructing him not to concern himself with the physical environment. He said, "Wind, rain, or dampness, whether the place is high, low, or deep—do not weigh them." The essence of this counsel was to rise above the external hardships and focus on the internal spiritual benefit. Despite the rheumatism and the contrary conditions, Amir initially heeded this advice, accepting Baba's word as medicine and staying there with internal faith, considering the company of Sai as the 'Great Prasad' or ultimate blessing.
