Chapter 9 mentions that staying in Shirdi after receiving permission to leave is also problematic. Can you explain this principle?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 9

According to the teachings in Chapter 9, just as it is crucial to get Sai Baba's permission to leave Shirdi, it is equally important not to delay one's departure once that permission is given. The text explicitly states that once permission is granted, "one should not stay in Shirdi for even a moment longer," as staying longer "brings trouble upon one's head." An example is given where Baba instructed some devotees to "eat a piece of bread and then go." Those who ignored this and left hungry in a hurry found no carriage available and were left stranded and hungry, a situation witnessed by many other devotees.
