What was the actual 'medicine' Baba gave for Amir's rheumatism, and what does it reveal about His methods?

The 'medicine' Sai Baba prescribed for Amir Shakkar's rheumatism was not a physical substance but simply His word and command. As Chapter 22 clarifies, Baba's medicine was His firm instruction to stay in the Chavadi regardless of the harsh conditions. He told Amir not to weigh the issues of wind, rain, or dampness. The core of the treatment was internal faith versus external circumstances. By accepting Baba's word as the ultimate remedy and staying happily despite the discomfort, Amir's healing was tied to his obedience and unwavering belief. This reveals that Baba's methods often prioritized spiritual discipline and faith over conventional physical remedies, emphasizing that true healing comes from internal certainty in the Guru's command.
