What was Sai Baba's teaching about making pilgrimages to holy places like Prayag?

Sai Baba taught that the true sanctity of a place is dependent on a devotee's faith, and that for his followers, Shirdi itself was the ultimate holy site. This is clearly illustrated in an episode from Chapter 4 when Das Ganu wanted to travel to Prayag for a holy bath. Baba advised him against the long journey, stating, "This itself is our Prayag; keep firm faith in your mind." To substantiate this claim, a miracle occurred where water representing the sacred rivers Ganga and Yamuna flowed from Baba's toes as Das Ganu bowed to him. This profound experience demonstrated that the presence of the Guru and unwavering faith could bring the holiness of any pilgrimage site to the devotee, making long journeys unnecessary.
