According to Chapter 9, what are the key principles devotees must follow when planning to depart from Shirdi, and what are the consequences of not adhering to them?

📖 Chapter 9

Chapter 9 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra clearly outlines a crucial principle for any pilgrim visiting Shirdi: one must not depart without first receiving Sai Baba's permission. The text states that if a pilgrim leaves without this consent, they invite obstacles and trouble. Furthermore, once permission is granted, a devotee should not linger in Shirdi for even a moment longer, as doing so also brings trouble. The chapter mentions that many who acted outside of his orders suffered greatly, with some being looted by thieves or finding themselves stranded without a carriage, experiences they remembered for a lifetime.
