Chapter 9 recounts an incident involving Tatya Kote on a weekly market day in Kopargaon. He was on his way there in his tonga and stopped at the mosque to take Sai Baba's darshan and seek permission to proceed. The text describes Tatya as being impatient to leave. Although he made a pretext of seeking permission by bowing at Baba's feet, his haste was apparent. Sai Baba, knowing the right and wrong time for all things, perceived Tatya's impatience and instructed him, "Wait a little." This brief story illustrates a recurring theme in the chapter: Baba's omniscience and the importance of following his timing over one's own sense of urgency.
