A devotee is struggling and feels their efforts are in vain. What advice would Sai Baba give them based on his own experience with his Guru?

Drawing from his own profound experiences detailed in Chapter 19, Sai Baba would offer the virtues of Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) as solace. He shared that his own Guru asked him for these two 'paise.' He would remind the devotee that patience is courage and the very quality that takes one to the 'other shore' when heavy burdens fall. Baba taught that patience wards off distress and averts calamities. He would encourage strong faith at the Guru’s feet, assuring the devotee that just as he served his Guru for twelve years, their unwavering faith and patience would ultimately please the master and lead to spiritual fulfillment.
