What were the 'two paise' that Baba's Guru asked for, and what do they truly represent?

In Chapter 19, Baba clarifies that when his Guru asked him for two paise, he was not requesting worldly money, as a desire-fulfilled Guru has no need for it. The request was symbolic. Baba explains, "Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi)—these were the two paise, nothing else; I gave them to him then and there, and thus my Guru-Mother was pleased with me." This reveals that what a Guru truly expects from a disciple is not material wealth but the invaluable spiritual qualities of strong faith in the Guru and the courageous strength that is patience.
