Who was the Guru that asked his disciple for two paise, and what did he really want?

The Guru discussed in Chapter 19 was one whose desires were already fulfilled, so he had no need for worldly money. When he shaved his disciple's head and asked for two paise, it was a symbolic request. As the disciple explains, the Guru was not interested in actual coins but was asking for the virtues of Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi). The disciple gave these two qualities to him, which greatly pleased the Guru-Mother. This story illustrates that the true payment a Guru seeks is the disciple's spiritual commitment.
