Sai Baba taught that physical pilgrimage was not always necessary if one had true faith in their Guru. As described in Chapter 4, when Das Ganu wanted to travel to Prayag for a holy bath on a special day, Baba advised against it, saying, 'No need to go so far. This itself is our Prayag; keep firm faith in your mind.' To demonstrate this, Baba miraculously caused water from the sacred rivers Ganga and Yamuna to flow from his own toes. The text further explains that holy places like the Ganga themselves come to the feet of Saints to be purified, suggesting that the presence of a true Saint is the ultimate pilgrimage site.
Do I really need to travel to holy places like Prayag to wash away sins, or is there another way according to Sai Baba?
