Hemadpant's reaction to being named by Sai Baba is a practical demonstration of Shraddha and Saburi. As described in Chapter 2, the name was given to destroy his pride in debating. Instead of reacting with ego, he showed Saburi, or patience, by accepting the lesson without argument. He demonstrated Shraddha, or faith, by trusting his Guru's wisdom, ultimately considering the name an "ornament" that was "meaningful and appropriate." He states he accepted it "with love, sincerity, and a pure nature." This act of humble acceptance perfectly embodies the principles he learns, paving the way for the great realization that follows: "Without faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi), Not a bit of the spiritual goal is achieved." His personal journey becomes a living example of these essential virtues.
