How does Baba describe the power and virtues of patience for a spiritual seeker?

According to Baba's teachings in Chapter 19, patience is a cornerstone of a virtuous and successful life. He describes it as "the manliness of men," a quality that actively wards off sin, distress, poverty, and fear. It is a powerful force that "averts calamities through various means" and is essential for achieving success. Baba elevates patience to a high spiritual status, calling it "a mine of virtues, the queen of the King of Good Thoughts." He stresses its importance by stating that even a virtuous or scholarly person leads a life in vain without it.
