Seriously speaking, I also like the part about piligrimages. No pilgrimage in any religion must be made compulsory. If people feel the divine call, they will go on their own. But pilgrimages which are obligatory and enforced/encouraged by religions or social customs/rituals are sort of hypocrisy IMO.

Islamic concept of Pilgrimage (Haj) is obligatory for those who can afford it, after fulfilling other needs. If a person is indebted, he is not required to perform Haj, but some how some people perform Haj by taking loans. Religions (including Islam) emphaises on internal aspects of worship and not apparent form of rituals and if anything talked against religion by Sufi saints like Bulleh Shah, related to such rituals and not the actual substance of religion.
