What did Sai Baba think about people going into debt to go on a pilgrimage?

Sai Baba had a very clear teaching regarding financial responsibility, especially concerning spiritual journeys. According to Chapter 28 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Baba did not approve of devotees taking on debt for such purposes. 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 practical aspect of Baba's philosophy, emphasizing that spiritual pursuits should not lead to financial distress or irresponsibility, as He disliked indebtedness in His devotees.
