I heard Baba had some specific views on money and religious duties. What was his teaching about taking loans for a pilgrimage?

Sai Baba's teachings emphasized practical and responsible living, even in matters of faith. According to Chapter 28 of the Sai Satcharitra, he strongly discouraged taking on debt for religious activities. The text explicitly states, 'Taking loan for a pilgrimage - or going on pilgrimage with debt - Baba does not like indebtedness; this is the main teaching here.' This highlights a core principle that financial responsibility was paramount, and one should not enter into debt, even for something as pious as a pilgrimage. It shows Baba's focus on living a life free from worldly burdens like debt.
