What happened to Patil Tatya Kote when he sought permission to leave for the Kopargaon market in Chapter 9?

📖 Chapter 9

In an anecdote from Chapter 9, Patil Tatya Kote was on his way to the weekly market in Kopargaon. He stopped his tonga at the mosque to take Sai Baba's darshan and, as the text describes, made a 'pretext of seeking permission' to leave. Baba, possessing deep insight, perceived Tatya’s impatience and understood the true timing of events better than his devotee. Instead of immediately granting the request, Baba wisely told him, "Wait a little." This interaction, as recorded in Chapter 9, serves as a powerful example of how Baba knew the right and wrong time for everything and would guide his devotees accordingly, even when they were in a hurry or tried to rush matters.
