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

Sai Baba extols the virtues of patience, or Saburi, as a powerful force for a devotee. As detailed in Chapter 19, he describes patience as the "manliness of men" and a form of courage that helps one navigate life's greatest challenges. He teaches that patience is a quality that "wards off sin, distress, and poverty; it averts calamities through various means and pushes away fear and dread." Baba further elevates it by calling it a "mine of virtues" and the "queen of the King of Good Thoughts," suggesting that a life lived without patience, regardless of one's knowledge or other virtues, is ultimately in vain.
