The story of Laxmichand contains a very direct lesson about financial responsibility. After Sai Baba revealed his knowledge of Laxmichand taking a loan to visit Shirdi, the narrative in Chapter 28 explicitly clarifies Baba's stance on the matter. It states that 'Baba does not like indebtedness' and that taking a loan for a pilgrimage or going on a pilgrimage while in debt is not something he approved of. This is highlighted as the 'main teaching' of this particular incident, emphasizing prudence over piety funded by borrowed money.
Based on Laxmichand's experience, what was Sai Baba's teaching regarding going into debt for a pilgrimage?
