What are the consequences for a devotee who leaves Shirdi without Sai Baba's permission, as described in Chapter 9?

Chapter 9 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra clearly outlines the negative consequences for devotees who depart from Shirdi without first obtaining Sai Baba's permission. The text states that such a pilgrim "invites obstacles" and that those who acted against his orders "suffered greatly on the way." Some even experienced being looted by thieves, an experience they remembered for their entire lives. This chapter emphasizes that it is a distinct characteristic of the Shirdi pilgrimage that one must not leave without Baba's express consent, as doing so leads to exhaustion and trouble.
