What is Sai Baba's teaching on taking loans for pilgrimages, as mentioned in the story of Laxmichand?

📖 Chapter 28

According to Chapter 28 of the Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba did not approve of incurring debt, even for a sacred purpose like a pilgrimage. The text explicitly addresses this when discussing Laxmichand and his companions' journey to Shirdi. It is noted that they possibly took a loan to finance their trip. The author includes a verse that clarifies Baba's stance on the matter: "Taking loan for a pilgrimage - or going on pilgrimage with debt - Baba does not like indebtedness; this is the main teaching here." This demonstrates Baba's practical wisdom, emphasizing financial responsibility and living without the burden of debt.
