Chapter 2 states unequivocally that without faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi), "Not a bit of the spiritual goal is achieved." This implies that a complete lack of spiritual progress is the direct consequence of not possessing these two essential qualities. The passage suggests this is not just an abstract idea but a firm scriptural truth that the author, Hemadpant, came to understand personally. He mentions, "This too was experienced later," indicating that his realization stemmed from his own life experiences after he learned the lesson to abandon prideful debate and embrace humility.
According to this text, what happens if someone lacks Shraddha and Saburi, and how did the author realize this?
