According to Chapter 9, what are the consequences of either leaving Shirdi without Sai Baba's permission or staying after he has granted it?

Chapter 9 clearly outlines the consequences related to Sai Baba's permission. It is described as a distinct characteristic of the Shirdi pilgrimage that if a devotee departs without Baba's consent, they are essentially inviting obstacles and trouble for themselves. The text mentions that those who acted against his orders suffered greatly, with some even being looted by thieves. On the other hand, once Baba has given his permission to leave, one should not linger in Shirdi for even a moment longer. As stated in Chapter 9, staying longer after being permitted to go also brings trouble upon one's head, an experience that many devotees have reportedly had.
