What does Sai Baba mean when he says his Guru asked him for 'two paise', and what is the significance of this request?

In the narrative from Chapter 19, Sai Baba clarifies that his Guru's request for 'two paise' was not for worldly currency. The text explicitly states that the Guru, being one whose desires were fulfilled, had no use for money. Instead, the 'two paise' were symbolic of two crucial spiritual qualities: Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi). By giving these to his Guru, Baba demonstrated the very virtues his master sought to cultivate. As explained in Chapter 19, the significance of this act is to show that a genuine Guru values a disciple's unwavering faith and courageous patience far more than any material offering.
