Chapter 9 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra strongly emphasizes the fallibility of a devotee's sense of timing compared to Sai Baba's divine wisdom. The text explicitly states, 'Though devotees may try to delay or rush, Baba knows the right and wrong time.' This is demonstrated through two examples. First, when Tatya Kote was impatient to go to the market, Baba made him wait. Second, the Noolkar and Dixit families rushed to the station only to find their train was significantly delayed. As this chapter shows, human impatience or procrastination is often misguided, and true welfare is achieved by surrendering one's own schedule to Baba's perfect, all-knowing guidance.
