According to the teachings relayed in Chapter 19, patience, or Saburi, is a foundational virtue with numerous benefits. It is described as "the manliness of men" and a "mine of virtues." Cultivating patience helps to ward off sin, distress, and poverty. It is a powerful force that averts calamities and pushes away fear and dread, ultimately bringing a "share of success" and putting misfortune to flight. The text emphasizes its importance by stating, "Patience is a mine of virtues, the queen of the King of Good Thoughts." Therefore, patience is not just a passive waiting but an active, courageous quality that brings protection, success, and inner peace on the spiritual path.
