Sai Baba's counsel to Amir Shakkar was a test of pure faith over physical comfort. As Chapter 22 states, Baba's medicine was simply His word. He gave firm instructions to Amir, saying: "Wind, rain, or dampness, whether the place is high, low, or deep—do not weigh them." This reveals that Baba's method was not to provide a conventional cure but to instill unwavering trust. He taught that accepting His company as the "Great Prasad" was more important than any external condition. Amir's subsequent happy nine-month stay, based on internal faith despite contrary external conditions, demonstrates the success of this spiritual, rather than physical, remedy.
