Chapter 9 of the Sai Satcharitra covers several important themes and narratives. It primarily emphasizes the critical importance of obtaining Sai Baba's permission before leaving Shirdi, warning that those who depart without it invite obstacles and suffering. Conversely, it also notes that one should not linger after permission is granted. The chapter explains that Baba's lifelong habit of begging for food was a merciful act for the spiritual welfare of his devotees, aimed at removing their sins. A core teaching introduced in this chapter is the omnipresence of Sai, impressing upon followers that God resides in all beings. An illustrative story involves Tatya Kote, who was told to wait by Baba despite his impatience to leave for the market.
