Can you describe the interaction between Sai Baba and Tatya Kote Patil when Tatya wanted to go to the market in Kopargaon, as told in Chapter 9?

📖 Chapter 9

Chapter 9 narrates an incident involving Tatya Kote Patil, who wished to go to the weekly market in Kopargaon. He came to the mosque in his tonga to seek Sai Baba's permission. After bowing at Baba's feet, he made the pretext of seeking permission by simply stating, "I am going." The text notes that Baba, knowing the right and wrong time for all things and perceiving Tatya's impatience, did not grant immediate permission. Instead, Baba told him, "Wait a little." This brief interaction, as described in the chapter, serves as an example of how Baba's wisdom guided devotees, even when they were in a rush, by ensuring they acted at the most appropriate moment.
