According to Sai Baba's teachings in Chapter 19, patience, or Saburi, is a virtue of immense power and a cornerstone of a worthy life. He describes it as the "manliness of men" and a form of courage that helps one overcome life's greatest challenges. Baba states that patience "wards off sin, distress, and poverty; it averts calamities through various means and pushes away fear and dread." He further calls it a "mine of virtues" and the "queen of the King of Good Thoughts." Baba also illustrates its close relationship with faith, describing Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi) as "two sisters, dear as life to each other." He concludes that a life without patience is ultimately in vain, regardless of one's knowledge or other virtues.
