Sai Baba's perspective was that physical pilgrimages to distant holy places were unnecessary if a devotee had firm faith in him. As described in Chapter 4, when Das Ganu felt the urge to go to Prayag for a holy bath, Baba told him, "No need to go so far. This itself is our Prayag; keep firm faith in your mind." To prove his point, a miracle occurred where water from the Ganga and Yamuna flowed from Baba's toes. This experience deeply moved Das Ganu. Similarly, Baba told Das Ganu that Shirdi itself was like Pandhari or Dwarka. The text reinforces this by stating that holy rivers come to the feet of saints to be purified, making such pilgrimages unnecessary for devotees.
Based on the experiences of Das Ganu, what was Sai Baba's perspective on making pilgrimages to holy places?
