What does Sai Baba teach about the importance of patience, and what does he compare it to?

Sai Baba teaches that patience, or 'Saburi', is a supreme virtue essential for navigating life's challenges. He explains that 'Patience is courage' and the 'manliness of men,' with the power to ward off sin, distress, poverty, and fear. According to Chapter 19, patience is a 'mine of virtues' and the 'queen of the King of Good Thoughts.' Baba emphasizes its value by revealing that along with Faith ('Nishtha'), it represents the 'two paise' his Guru asked for, signifying that these inner qualities are far more valuable than any worldly wealth. He states that a person without patience, regardless of their knowledge or virtue, leads a life that is in vain.
