What happened when Tatya Kote Patil came to the mosque to seek Baba's permission to go to Kopargaon, as told in Chapter 9?

📖 Chapter 9

Chapter 9 describes an interaction with Tatya Kote Patil on a weekly market day in Kopargaon. Tatya was driving his tonga towards Kopargaon and stopped at the mosque to take Sai Baba's darshan. He bowed at Baba's feet and stated, 'I am going,' making a pretext of seeking permission to leave. The text notes that Baba, knowing the right and wrong time for everything, could see Tatya’s impatience to get to the market. In response to Tatya's haste, Baba did not immediately grant permission but instead told him, 'Wait a little.' This incident, narrated in Chapter 9, exemplifies Baba's method of guiding the patience of his devotees.
