What did Sai Baba's Guru actually mean when he asked for 'two paise' after shaving Baba's head?

According to the account in Chapter 19, Sai Baba's Guru was not asking for literal money. Baba clarifies that his Guru, being one whose desires were fulfilled (Purnakam), had no need for worldly wealth. The 'two paise' he requested were a metaphor for two crucial virtues he expected from his disciple. Baba explains, "Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi)—these were the two paise, nothing else; I gave them to him then and there, and thus my Guru-Mother was pleased with me." This interaction was a lesson in the importance of these spiritual qualities over material offerings.
