What did Sai Baba's Guru ask for as 'two paise', and what does this reveal about faith and patience?

In a conversation recounted in Chapter 19, Sai Baba explains that his Guru once asked him for 'two paise.' However, this was not a request for worldly money. Baba clarifies that his Guru, being one whose desires were fulfilled, had no need for gold. The two paise he requested were symbolic representations of two crucial virtues: 'Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi).' Baba states that he gave these to his Guru, which greatly pleased him. This teaching emphasizes that the most valuable offerings to a Guru are not material but spiritual. Patience is described as a form of courage that wards off sin and distress, while Faith and Patience together are likened to two inseparable sisters, essential for a disciple's progress.
