Describe the relationship between Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) as presented in the text.

In Chapter 19, Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) are presented not just as important virtues but as inextricably linked concepts. They are first introduced as the 'two paise' that the Guru desires from a disciple, signifying their foundational importance. The text goes on to personify them with a beautiful and intimate metaphor, stating, 'Faith and Patience are like two sisters, dear as life to each other.' This suggests that one cannot exist meaningfully without the other; they are a complementary pair. A Guru expects a disciple to have 'strong faith at the Guru’s feet and the strength of courage which is patience,' reinforcing the idea that these two qualities work together to support a disciple's spiritual journey.
