What does a Guru truly expect from a disciple, beyond material offerings or service?

According to the narrative in Chapter 19, a Guru's expectations transcend material wealth or simple service. The Guru in the story had no need for the 'two paise' as money; what he truly desired were the inner qualities of Faith and Patience. The text elaborates that a Guru expects the disciple's wisdom, strong faith, and courageous patience. The disciple reflects on their twelve years of service, noting, "This was all my Guru expected; he desired nothing more than this." This expectation was fulfilled through constant, loving contemplation, where the disciple would gaze at the Guru's face day and night, feeling neither hunger nor thirst, making the Guru the sole object of their meditation and goal.
