Based on the provided text, what was the established protocol for devotees in Shirdi before undertaking any important task or journey?

As detailed in Chapter 33, a firm custom existed among Sai Baba's devotees. Before beginning any significant endeavor, such as a wedding, a business trip, or any auspicious function, it was imperative to seek Baba's explicit approval. No one would depart for any purpose without first going to the Masjid to bow at Baba's feet. The protocol involved receiving his complete permission, along with his blessings in the form of Udi-Prasad. This practice was rooted in the unshakeable belief that without Baba's consent, no work could be completed successfully or without obstacles, a custom that the devotee Ramgir Buwa is shown following.
