How are Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) related to each other in the context of discipleship?

Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) are presented as intrinsically linked and essential for a disciple. Chapter 19 beautifully illustrates their connection by describing them as 'like two sisters, dear as life to each other.' They are the 'two paise' that the Guru desires from a disciple, indicating they are an inseparable pair. Even a powerful Guru expects the disciple to possess strong faith at the Guru's feet combined with the courageous strength of patience. The text suggests that one without the other is incomplete; a disciple's journey is built upon the dual foundation of unwavering trust in the Guru and the endurance to wait for grace and wisdom to unfold.
