Chapter 9 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides clear examples of the troubles faced by devotees who ignored Baba's commands about their departure. The text states that those who acted outside of his orders "suffered greatly on the way." Some were even looted by thieves, an ordeal they remembered for a lifetime. In another specific instance, devotees who were told to "eat a piece of bread and then go" but left hungry in a hurry later found that there was no carriage available, leaving them stranded and hungry. These accounts serve as cautionary tales about the necessity of obedience.
