What did Sai Baba's Guru truly mean when he asked for 'two paise,' and how did Baba respond?

According to the narrative in Chapter 19, the 'two paise' requested by Sai Baba's Guru were not a form of worldly money but a symbolic representation of two essential virtues. Baba clarifies that his Guru, being one whose desires were fulfilled, had no need for gold. The two paise he sought were, in fact, 'Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi).' Upon understanding this, Baba states, 'I gave them to him then and there, and thus my Guru-Mother was pleased with me.' This story illustrates that the most valuable offering a disciple can present to a Guru is not material wealth but the spiritual qualities of unwavering faith and enduring patience.
