Why did Sai Baba make Amir Shakkar, who was suffering from rheumatism, stay in the miserable conditions of the Chavadi?

When Amir Shakkar narrated his illness of rheumatism to Sai Baba and prayed for deliverance, Baba's remedy was an instruction to stay steadily in the Chavadi. As detailed in Chapter 22, this place was old, dilapidated, and extremely uncomfortable, with dampness, cold, and uneven ground, making it seem contrary to healing a condition like rheumatism. However, Baba's firm words were the medicine. He told Amir not to worry about the conditions, whether the place was high, low, or deep. By accepting Baba's word as the ultimate remedy and maintaining internal faith despite the external hardships, Amir was to undergo his treatment. He stayed there for nine months, demonstrating that the cure was rooted in faith and obedience rather than physical comfort.
