How does Sai Baba emphasize the importance of patience and faith for spiritual attainment?

Sai Baba, the great Guru, teaches that full faith and patience are essential for spiritual progress. Chapter 37 personifies these qualities as Parvati and Shiva, explaining that without their hands of grace on one's head, the Lord dwelling in the heart cannot be seen. The chapter conveys his infallible words, urging devotees that with a little patience of faith, great glory can be attained. This is the path to receiving the grace necessary to perceive the Self, which manifests effortlessly when bondage ceases.
