In Chapter 19, faith and patience are presented as deeply interconnected and equally essential for a disciple. They are first introduced together as the 'two paise' that the narrator gives to his Guru, signifying they are the foundational offering a disciple must make. The text further emphasizes their bond by describing them poetically: "Faith and Patience are like two sisters, dear as life to each other." This illustrates that one cannot truly exist without the other. The passage reinforces this by stating that even a powerful Guru expects his disciple to possess "strong faith at the Guru’s feet and the strength of courage which is patience."
