According to Sai Baba, what are the benefits of practicing patience, or 'Saburi'?

Sai Baba extols the virtues of patience, or Saburi, describing it as a powerful quality with numerous benefits. According to Chapter 19, patience is described as courage and the very 'manliness of men.' It is a powerful force that helps one cross over when heavy burdens fall. The practice of patience wards off sin, distress, and poverty, averts calamities, and pushes away fear. It is considered a 'mine of virtues' and the 'queen of the King of Good Thoughts' that ultimately brings success and puts misfortune to flight. A life without patience, regardless of one's knowledge or virtue, is considered to be in vain.
