According to Chapter 9, what happens if a devotee leaves Shirdi without Sai Baba's permission, and what if they linger after receiving it?

Chapter 9 is very clear about the consequences of disregarding Sai Baba's timing for departures. It states that leaving Shirdi without his permission is a sure way to invite obstacles and suffering on the journey, with some devotees even being looted by thieves. This rule is presented as a fundamental characteristic of the Shirdi pilgrimage. The chapter provides a crucial counterpoint as well: once Baba grants permission to leave, one should not stay in Shirdi for even a moment longer. As Chapter 9 explains, staying longer after being permitted to go also brings trouble, a fact to which many devotees could attest.
