Chapter 9 of the Sai Satcharitra clearly states that leaving Shirdi without Sai Baba's permission was a significant characteristic of the pilgrimage that invited obstacles and trouble. Those who acted outside of his orders suffered greatly, with some even being looted by thieves. The text emphasizes that once permission was given, one should not stay even a moment longer, as doing so would also bring trouble. This rule was a well-known experience for all devotees, highlighting the importance of adhering to Baba's guidance for a safe journey.
