Amir Shakkar, who was suffering from rheumatism, was instructed by Baba to reside in the Chavadi. As described in Chapter 22, this was an incredibly difficult order because the place was old, dilapidated, and filled with hardships. The text mentions it was home to lizards and poisonous scorpions, had seventeen knee-deep holes, and was filled with garbage. The environment was characterized by dampness, wind, and cold, which would have been terrible for his rheumatism. Despite his misery and the contrary conditions, he had to obey Baba's command, which worked no arguments.
