How does Sai Baba describe the relationship between faith and patience, and what are their benefits?

Sai Baba teaches that Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) are profoundly interconnected, describing them in Chapter 19 as being 'like two sisters, dear as life to each other.' Patience is hailed as a 'mine of virtues' and the 'manliness of men.' Its benefits are immense; it provides the courage to endure heavy burdens, wards off sin, distress, and poverty, and pushes away fear and dread. The text further states that patience brings success and causes calamities to flee, highlighting its protective and empowering nature for any spiritual seeker.
