The narrative in Chapter 28 clearly outlines Sai Baba's perspective on financial responsibility in relation to spiritual pursuits. While describing a group of devotees traveling to Shirdi, the text notes that some had taken out loans to make the trip possible. It then explicitly states the core principle: "Taking loan for a pilgrimage - or going on pilgrimage with debt - Baba does not like indebtedness; this is the main teaching here." This shows that Baba prioritized fiscal prudence and did not approve of devotees putting themselves into financial hardship, even for the sake of a holy pilgrimage to see him.
What is Sai Baba's teaching regarding debt and pilgrimage as mentioned in the Satcharitra?
