Baba's instructions must be followed in toto.

Those people who listened to Baba's instructions while leaving Shirdi, were always safe. Those who have not followed his instructions, suffered many difficulties en route. Tatya Patil once wanted to leave Shirdi for market in a tonga driven by new horse. He went to the mosque to get the permission of Baba before leaving for the market. Baba said, "Don't go now! Atleast take Shama with you. As Tatya was in a hurry, he went to the market without listening to Baba's warning. As one of the horse was new, it got freightened on seeing a bicycle on the way and it ran fast, and it fell down toppling the cart. Fortunately Tatya was not hurt much. He remembered Baba's warning. Likewise one European gentleman, who wanted to enter into the masjid and kiss Baba's hand was prevented from entering by Baba. He was not happy with the treatment meted out to him. He wanted to leave Shirdi. He asked Baba's permission. Baba said, "Do not go to day". But the gentleman left without following Baba's warning. Initially, the horses were running normally. But near the Savulviheer well, a cyclist passed by. Excited by this, the horses ran very fast, stumbled upon a stone which tilted the cart. The European was thrown out and dragged for a few distance and he sustained bruises. He was admitted to Kopergaon hospital and he had to stay there for few days for the cure. Thus those who listened to Baba were safe. We must follow Baba's dictum. Saisarn, Sairam.
