Baba talks about giving his Guru 'two paise'. What did he actually mean by that?

In a story told to a devotee, Sai Baba explains that his Guru once asked him for two paise. As detailed in Chapter 19, this was not a request for literal money. Baba clarifies that the two paise were symbolic representations of two crucial virtues: Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi). He explains that he gave these to his Guru immediately, which greatly pleased his master. The text further emphasizes the deep connection between these qualities, describing Faith and Patience as being 'like two sisters, dear as life to each other.' This teaching highlights that true offerings to a Guru are not material wealth but spiritual qualities.
