Real meaning of going to a sacred place--to find out some intelligent
scholar in spiritual knowledge. They are living there. To make
association with them, to take knowledge from them--that is the
purpose of going to pilgrimage. Because in pilgrimage, holy places...
Just like I, my residence is at Vrndavana. So at Vrndavana there are
many great scholars and saintly persons living. So one should go to
such holy places not simply to take bath in the water, but he must be
intelligent enough to find out some spiritually advanced man living
there and take instruction from him and (be) benefited by that.
