What is Saburi? (Patience as Spiritual Power)

If Shraddha is faith, Saburi is its companion. Because faith without patience collapses. Saburi means: • endurance • forbearance • calm waiting • inner steadiness • acceptance of divine timing Modern life is impatient: • instant results • fast gratification • quick answers Sai Baba taught: The soul ripens slowly. Saburi is Not Passive Waiting Saburi is not laziness. It is active inner stability. It means: • continuing devotion • maintaining goodness • holding peace even in uncertainty Saburi is patience without bitterness. Why Patience is Essential on the Spiritual Path The ego wants enlightenment quickly. But transformation is slow. Habits built over lifetimes do not dissolve overnight. Saburi teaches: Trust the process. Stay steady. Do not abandon the path.
