In a teaching found in Chapter 19, Sai Baba explains that his Guru, a great Auliya, once asked him for 'two paise'. Baba clarified that this was not a request for worldly money, as his Guru was desireless and had no need for it. Instead, the 'two paise' were symbolic of two essential spiritual qualities: 'Faith' (Nishtha) and 'Patience' (Saburi). Baba stated that he immediately gave these to his Guru, which pleased his Guru-Mother. He described these virtues as being like "two sisters, dear as life to each other." This story illustrates that what a true Guru desires from a disciple is not material wealth but the internal cultivation of unwavering faith and steadfast patience, which are the real currency on the spiritual path.
Can you elaborate on the meaning of the 'two paise' that Sai Baba's Guru requested from him?
