In the context of the pilgrimage that included the devotee Laxmichand, Chapter 28 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides a clear teaching from Sai Baba regarding finances. 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." Although the group of devotees, including Laxmichand, had to take a loan to make arrangements for their trip, the author makes a point to highlight that this practice was something Baba generally disapproved of, emphasizing financial prudence as a key principle.
