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

📖 Chapter 9

Chapter 9 provides stern warnings about the repercussions of ignoring Sai Baba's commands concerning departures from Shirdi. The text emphasizes that leaving without his permission would invariably lead to obstacles and trouble for the pilgrim. Specific examples of suffering are mentioned, such as devotees being looted by thieves on their journey, an experience they would remember for a lifetime. The chapter also notes that even when permission was granted, one should not delay. Those who were told to eat before leaving but left hungry in a hurry often found themselves stranded without a carriage, reinforcing the lesson that Baba's timing was perfect and his instructions were for the devotee's own protection.
