What does Chapter 2 say will happen if a person lacks faith and patience?

Chapter 2 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra is unequivocal about the consequences of lacking faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi). The text states with absolute certainty that 'Without faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi), not a bit of the spiritual goal is achieved.' This implies a complete inability to make any progress on the spiritual path. The author, Hemadpant, presents this not just as a scriptural rule but as a truth he personally 'experienced later.' The surrounding text emphasizes the need for a Guru and the folly of prideful debate, suggesting that a lack of faith and patience stems from an ego that prevents one from humbly receiving spiritual guidance and, as a result, completely blocks any chance of spiritual attainment.
