Is the teaching about 'shraddha' and 'saburi' just Hemadpant's personal opinion, or does he attribute it to a higher source?

While Hemadpant relates the teaching through his personal experience, he presents the necessity of faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi) as a universal spiritual law rather than just his own opinion. In Chapter 2, after describing his humbling experience regarding debate, he states, "Without a Guru, there is no knowledge or spiritual goal; this scriptural truth is firm." He immediately follows this by stating that without Shraddha and Saburi, "not a bit of the spiritual goal is achieved." He also mentions that this was something "experienced later," suggesting it was a truth revealed to him through Sai's grace and his own subsequent journey, solidifying it as a firm scriptural and experiential truth beyond mere personal belief.
