According to Chapter 2, what is the connection between having a Guru, overcoming pride, and the principles of Shraddha and Saburi?

Chapter 2 establishes a direct and crucial link between these three elements. The author's personal experience demonstrates that a key role of the Guru is to dismantle the disciple's ego. The author's pride in debating was addressed by Sai through a humbling act, which taught him that "debating is a bad trait." He reinforces this by noting that even divine figures like Krishna took a Guru and served him, emphasizing the necessity of humility. This humbling process makes the disciple receptive to the core principles of the spiritual path. As the chapter concludes, this path is impossible to walk without the foundational virtues of faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi). Therefore, the Guru first curbs pride to prepare the disciple for the journey, which is then sustained by Shraddha and Saburi.
