Baba cautions many devotees while leaving.

Those who followed Baba's instructions while leaving Shirdi were safe and secure. Those who have acted contrary to His instructions, suffered many troubles. One European gentleman came to Shirdi. He wanted to enter the Masjid to kiss the hands of Baba. But Baba has not allowed him to climb up. He was asked to take Dharsan sitting below. He was not happy to the treatment meted out to him. Hence, he wanted to go out from Shirdi. He sought the permission of Baba for leaving. Baba told him, 'not to go on that day and he can leave the next day. Without heeding Baba's words, the European left Shirdi in a tonga. Initially, the horses behaved normally. But near the "Sahulveer well", one of the horse was excited and started running erratically. The tonga fell upside down and the European gentleman was dragged along with the tonga to a small distance. He suffered many bruises and he had to undergo treatment in Kopergaon hospital. Tatya kote Patil too disregarded twice Baba's words of caution. He too met with some mishap but fortunately he escaped unhurt. Hence, we must abide Sai's words implicitly to escape troubles unknown. Sairam.
