Baba mentions his Guru asked for two paise. What did he mean by that? Was it actual money?

According to the teachings in Chapter 19, the two paise that Sai Baba's Guru asked for were not literal currency. Baba explains that his Guru was 'Purnakam,' meaning his desires were already fulfilled, and he had no need for worldly money. Instead, the two paise were symbolic representations of two crucial virtues: Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi). Baba clarifies, "Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi)—these were the two paise, nothing else; I gave them to him then and there, and thus my Guru-Mother was pleased with me." This act demonstrates that the most valuable offering a disciple can make to a Guru is not material wealth but the internal qualities of unwavering faith and steadfast patience.
