Chapter 9 recounts an interaction where Tatya Kote, intending to go to the weekly market in Kopargaon, came to the mosque for Sai Baba's darshan. He made the pretext of seeking permission to leave, but his impatience was evident. Baba, who is described as knowing the right and wrong time for everything, perceived Tatya's haste. Rather than letting him go immediately, Baba instructed him, "Wait a little." This brief story from the ninth chapter highlights Baba's omniscience and his method of guiding devotees, curbing their impatience for their own ultimate good, even in seemingly mundane situations.
