How did the realization about Shraddha and Saburi directly help Hemadpant overcome his pride in debating?

Chapter 2 suggests a thematic, rather than a direct cause-and-effect, relationship between overcoming pride and the importance of Shraddha and Saburi. Hemadpant explains that Sai Baba giving him the name 'Hemadpant' was a 'speech-arrow' meant to destroy his pride in debating. He concludes that debating is a bad trait. In the same line of reflection on the requirements for spiritual progress, he mentions the necessity of a Guru and then states that without faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi), no spiritual goal can be achieved. While the text does not explicitly state that this realization cured his pride, it presents both as crucial lessons for his spiritual development.
