How does Sai Baba's teaching describe the relationship between faith and patience?

According to the teachings shared in Chapter 19, Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) are deeply interconnected, described beautifully as 'two sisters, dear as life to each other.' This illustrates their inseparable nature in the spiritual path. The text further emphasizes this by stating that even a very powerful Guru expects two primary qualities from a disciple: 'strong faith at the Guru’s feet and the strength of courage which is patience.' This shows that one cannot exist meaningfully without the other; faith provides the foundation, while patience provides the endurance to stay on the path.
