Based on the Patil's story, what does Sainath require from his devotees?

The story of the Patil in Chapter 13 provides clear insight into what Sainath values from his followers. After the Patil was cured and expressed his immense gratitude, the text explicitly states that Sainath needs very little. The key elements required are 'Two hands, one head, stability, faith, and total surrender.' It emphasizes that beyond these acts of devotion and submission, the most important thing is that 'one gratitude should be there.' The Patil's subsequent actions, such as creating the Satya-Sai vow and frequently visiting Shirdi, demonstrate this principle of unwavering faith and thankfulness in practice.
