What are the core teachings and themes introduced at the beginning of Chapter 9 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 9 of the Sai Satcharitra opens by introducing several pivotal themes. Firstly, it highlights the trouble and exhaustion faced by devotees who chose to return to their homes without first securing Sai Baba's permission. Secondly, the chapter explains the profound reason behind Baba's lifelong habit of begging for food, stating it was for the welfare of his devotees and the removal of their 'Panchasuna' (five sins). Finally, it imparts the spiritual teaching that Sai is omnipresent, pervading everything from Brahma to the smallest inanimate object, thereby impressing upon followers that God resides in all beings. As the text suggests, attentive listening to these holy stories ensures the listener's welfare.
