The text states that patience actively "wards off sin, distress, and poverty; it averts calamities through various means and pushes away fear and dread." Furthermore, it is hailed as a "mine of virtues" and the "queen of the King of Good Thoughts." Baba emphasizes its importance by stating that without it, even a scholar's life is in vain.
