How does Chapter 9 connect the principle of obedience to the story of Tatya Kote's impatience?

πŸ“– Chapter 9

Chapter 9 establishes a clear rule: departing from Shirdi without Sai Baba's permission invites trouble. This principle is then illustrated through the brief account of Patil Tatya Kote. On a weekly market day, Tatya came to the mosque with his tonga, intending to go to Kopargaon. He sought Baba's permission as a mere formality, but his impatience to leave was quite evident. Recognizing Tatya's haste, Baba wisely told him to "Wait a little." As Chapter 9 teaches, Baba knows the right and wrong time for any action. This interaction directly connects the overarching theme of needing permission to a specific instance where Baba's intervention prevents a devotee from acting hastily, thereby protecting him from potential trouble.
