What are the primary teachings and stories highlighted in Chapter 9 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 9 of the Sai Satcharitra focuses on several key themes for the welfare of devotees. A central teaching is the absolute necessity of obtaining Sai Baba's permission before departing from Shirdi, as leaving without it invites obstacles and trouble. The chapter also explains that Baba's lifelong habit of begging for food was a practice for the spiritual benefit of his devotees, helping to remove their sins. Furthermore, it imparts the profound spiritual truth that Sai, representing God, is omnipresent and resides in all beings, from Brahma to the smallest inanimate object. As Chapter 9 states, attentively listening to these holy stories is a path to achieving one's own welfare.
