About the role of sadhus, Babaji was emphatic.

"Their tasks are distinct from those of householders and social workers. It is not for them to enter into your kitchen to prepare food for you and your God, nor to open the cowsheds to attend to sick cows. These works can be easily done by others; sadhus are not needed for them. Their withdrawal from the day-to-day lives of the people is of utmost importance to society.

The real help from sadhus comes when they are all engaged in their own task without getting involved in the quagmire of social life.

 Then and only then can society derive the greatest benefit from sadhus. It is for this reason you have to honor their roles, and allow them to do their work without any interference, not dragging them down to drive your chariot.

Their work is for the good of the whole creation.

The incense stick can give its odor by standing aloof, you need not take it before everyone to inhale its smell."

Babaji commented, "How nicely Ojhaji has explained everything to you. He is right when he says that nothing should be asked from God, nor is there anything with which God needs to be acquainted.

When one knows everything, what new thing can you bring to His notice? It is useless to try to do this. Moreover, God is gracious and always shows His mercy to everyone.

When you get what you want without asking Him for it, what is the use of asking? You always ask for useless things, wrong things, and sometimes for harmful things, that is why you do not get them. You ask for things out of ignorance.

 He knows what is useful for you and what should be given, and what is useless and harmful and should be denied. And you people accuse God, without caring to know why your desire was not fulfilled. This is your habit, your practice.

You must have full faith in God; He attends to everything when you have faith and depend on Him.

While the bandhara was going on, Babaji would encourage everyone to go on with their work even if they could not find time to sit with him.

One day, Babaji asked Shukla to go to the wife of Dan Singh Bisht and ask for her car.

Shukla said, "In order that she will realize that I need the car for you and not for me, I shall have to talk to her about you and say you are here."

While prasad was being given, he came to his room, sat on his bed and asked for the door to be bolted.

The room was already full. Many ladies had been waiting for him in his room, not in the hall in front of everyone.

Loud talking and laughter could be heard from within the room.

I was busy with some work when one lady came and almost dragged me to his room, saying that there was so much fun to be had.

He was on his cot in his favorite posture - head resting on the upraised palm of his right hand and the left hand dangling and making gestures.

There was an old lady, past seventy, arguing and refuting Baba's words.

Baba was talking loudly: "Mother, I was dead, I was dead, but afterwards I was reborn in the mountains. I am not that Baba whom you had seen before. I am not that Baba." But she could not be silenced.  Everyone was looking toward her and asking her to talk.

Babaji felt that when people were coming from distant places, in spite of all discomforts and difficulties, you had to pay full attention to them and treat them with care.

Nobody should leave with the feeling that their warmth of love and devotion had been returned with cold indifference.

He used to caution us, "No shame or disgrace should come to the ashram through your behavior. This is Hanumanji's ashram, so any reflection on this ashram will be a reflection on Hanumanji. One must learn from Hanumanji how one is to serve."
