How does Baba explain the relationship between Faith and Patience, and what does a Guru truly expect from a disciple?

According to the wisdom in Chapter 19, Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) are inextricably linked, described beautifully as 'two sisters, dear as life to each other.' They represent the core offering a disciple makes. The text emphasizes that even a highly powerful Guru does not seek material gain but desires the disciple's inner qualities. Specifically, a Guru expects 'strong faith at the Guru’s feet and the strength of courage which is patience.' This shows that the foundation of the Guru-disciple relationship is built on the disciple's unwavering trust and their resilience in the face of challenges.
