According to the provided text from Chapter 9, what specific consequences could befall a devotee who disregarded Sai Baba's instructions about leaving Shirdi?

Chapter 9 details the serious repercussions for devotees who failed to follow Sai Baba's explicit instructions regarding their departure from Shirdi. The text clearly states it is a characteristic of the Shirdi pilgrimage that if a pilgrim departs without Baba's permission, they invite obstacles. Those who acted outside his orders were said to have suffered greatly on their journey. Chapter 9 mentions that some were even looted by thieves, an experience they would remember for a lifetime. In another example, devotees who were told to "eat a piece of bread and then go" but left hungry in a hurry later found no carriage available and were left stranded, just as Baba's words had implicitly warned.
