The Shri Sai Satcharitra offers a clear teaching on the matter of indebtedness, particularly in the context of spiritual journeys. In the narrative found in Chapter 28, the author reflects on the situation of devotees who went on a pilgrimage to Shirdi. It is explicitly stated that "Baba does not like indebtedness," and this is highlighted as the "main teaching here." The text mentions that some devotees, despite a shortage of money, took a loan to make the arrangements for their pilgrimage. This action is contrasted with Baba's preference for devotees to avoid being in debt, even for a sacred purpose.
