How does the author's experience with debating relate to the importance of Shraddha and Saburi?

The author, Hemadpant, shares a personal lesson from Sai that directly connects the negative trait of debating with the necessity of faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi). As recounted in Chapter 2, Sai gave him a name that served as a "speech-arrow aimed at the debate to destroy my pride." This experience taught Hemadpant that debating is a "bad trait" and "extremely harmful." He understood that to make any spiritual progress, he must abandon this pride. The text explicitly states, "Without faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi), Not a bit of the spiritual goal is achieved," directly linking this realization to the lesson he learned about the futility of argument.
