Based on his teachings in chapter 19, what did Sai Baba consider the essential components of discipleship, and how did this differ from receiving secret instructions?

Based on the teachings in Chapter 19, Sai Baba taught that the essence of discipleship lies in cultivating two key virtues: strong faith (Nishtha) and courageous patience (Saburi). He presents these as the "two paise" that a disciple must offer their Guru. This is contrasted with the desire for a secret mantra or instruction. Baba's own discipleship, which he describes in detail, was not about receiving a mantra but about twelve years of dedicated service, constant loving contemplation of his Guru, and complete trust. The Guru, in turn, offered protection and love, nurturing the disciple with a merciful glance rather than a formulaic teaching. Therefore, Baba's lesson to the woman was that true spiritual wealth is found not in a secret 'upadesh,' but in the disciple's unwavering faith and patience and the Guru's loving attention.
