According to Chapter 9, what were the consequences for devotees who did not follow Baba's instructions about leaving Shirdi?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 9

Chapter 9 of the Sai Satcharitra clearly outlines the negative consequences for devotees who disregarded Sai Baba's instructions about leaving Shirdi. The text describes it as a key characteristic of the pilgrimage that leaving without Baba's permission invites obstacles. Some devotees suffered greatly on their journey, with some even being looted by thieves, an experience they remembered for a lifetime. Conversely, if Baba granted permission and told someone to leave, they were not to delay. The chapter notes that staying longer also brought trouble. An example is given of those who left in a hurry without eating as instructed, only to find no carriage available and remaining stranded and hungry.
