According to Chapter 9, what are the consequences for a devotee who either leaves Shirdi without Baba's permission or stays longer after receiving it?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 9

Chapter 9 of the Sai Satcharitra is very clear about the protocol for departing from Shirdi. It states that leaving without Sai Baba's permission is a characteristic of the Shirdi pilgrimage that invites obstacles and trouble. The text mentions that those who acted outside of his orders suffered greatly, with some even being looted by thieves. On the other hand, the chapter also cautions that once Baba has given his permission to leave, a devotee should not stay in Shirdi for even a moment longer. Lingering after being granted leave also brings trouble upon one's head, a lesson that the text notes many devotees have experienced firsthand.
