In Chapter 9, how did Tatya Kote Patil's attempt to leave for the market demonstrate both his impatience and Baba's omniscience?

📖 Chapter 9

The narrative in Chapter 9 describes Tatya Kote Patil's eagerness to go to the weekly market in Kopargaon. He approached the mosque with his tonga, took Baba's darshan, and, under the pretext of seeking permission, hastily said, "I am going." However, Sai Baba, who knows the right and wrong time for all actions, perceived Tatya's impatience. Instead of granting immediate permission, Baba simply told him, "Wait a little." This interaction beautifully illustrates how devotees may try to rush, but Baba's omniscient guidance always directs them toward the most appropriate timing for their own good.
