What happened when Tatya Kote was impatient to leave for the market in Kopargaon, as told in Chapter 9?

📖 Chapter 9

Chapter 9 provides a short but illustrative account of Tatya Kote's impatience. He came to the mosque with his tonga, intending to go to the weekly market in Kopargaon. After taking Baba's darshan, he made a pretext of seeking permission by simply stating, 'I am going.' Sai Baba, however, could see Tatya's impatience and knew the timing was not right. Rather than letting him rush off, Baba intervened and instructed him, 'Wait a little.' This incident from the ninth chapter demonstrates Baba's awareness of his devotees' inner states and his role in guiding their actions, ensuring they proceeded only at the most appropriate and beneficial time.
