How did Baba explain the relationship between Faith and Patience?

Sai Baba taught that Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) are inextricably linked and essential for a disciple. In Chapter 19, he reveals that these two qualities were the 'two paise' his Guru required, signifying their foundational value. He beautifully illustrates their connection by describing them as "two sisters, dear as life to each other." This implies that one cannot exist meaningfully without the other. Baba reinforces this by stating that a Guru expects "strong faith at the Guru’s feet and the strength of courage which is patience." This teaching highlights that faith provides the trust to stay on the path, while patience provides the resilient courage needed to endure its challenges.
