What did Sai Baba's Guru mean when he asked for 'two paise', and what was Baba's response?

In a profound teaching recounted in Chapter 19, Sai Baba explains that when his Guru asked him for 'two paise,' he was not requesting literal money. The Guru, being a fulfilled soul (Purnakam), had no desire for worldly wealth. Instead, these 'two paise' were a metaphor for the two most crucial virtues a disciple must offer: Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi). Baba states that he gave these two qualities to his Guru then and there, which greatly pleased his spiritual mother. This act demonstrates that the most valuable currency in the pursuit of spiritual guidance is unwavering faith and steadfast patience, not material possessions.
