According to Chapter 9, what were some specific consequences for devotees who disobeyed Sai Baba's instructions about leaving Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 9

Chapter 9 of the Sai Satcharitra clearly outlines the negative consequences for devotees who did not follow Sai Baba's orders regarding their departure from Shirdi. The text explicitly states that if a pilgrim left without Baba's permission, they were inviting obstacles. Some devotees who acted outside of his orders suffered greatly on their journey, with some even being looted by thieves, an experience they remembered for a lifetime. The chapter also gives the example of those who were told to "eat a piece of bread and then go" but left hungry in a hurry; they subsequently found no carriage available and were left stranded. These examples from Chapter 9 serve as cautionary tales about the importance of heeding the Guru's words.
