The text says Baba didn't like people going on pilgrimage while in debt, yet he was kind to Laxmichand who did just that. What can we learn from this?

The narrative in Chapter 28 highlights a key aspect of Sai Baba's nature. It explicitly states, "Baba does not like indebtedness; this is the main teaching here." Despite Laxmichand going on the pilgrimage with a loan, which went against Baba's teachings, Baba did not chastise him. Instead, he showered Laxmichand with grace by fulfilling his desire for khaja and revealing his omniscience. This suggests that while Baba had practical principles for living, his compassion and desire to foster devotion were paramount. He chose to build Laxmichand's faith through miraculous experiences rather than focusing on his financial misstep, showing that love and connection were more important than rigid adherence to rules.
