First of all Babuji Maharaj entertained only those persons who had the aim of "God Realization". For persons with lesser aim, He used to say, "Please go and find out such person who may help you in the matter". Once finding Babuji Maharaj alone, I humbly asked Him, "Babuji - you change a man at a glance but you return back a man with a wordly aim while you can help him at a wink of an eye - why so" ? Babuji Maharaj replied, "It is a fact that i can do every work but first of all i have a very limited time which is not enough even for the aspirants of God Realization and moreover there are so many experts who can help him in the worldly attainments. So better work should be preferred first. I do not want my popularity that i can help in the worldly matters so that the aspirants of only God Realization may come to me - a work or mission for which i have come to this world."
Babuji's the only expectation from an Abhyasi is that he should regularly sit in morning meditation, cleaning in the evening, prayer at the bed time and efforts to discharge all duties of life in the remembrance of God. If worldly duties require an adjustment of time, it is permitted.
Babuji has said that abhyasi should make his efforts and with the blessings of God, his efforts done turn to be Real very soon. Babuji Maharaj expected from an abhyasi to give his "Self" and nothing else so that the abhyasi may realize his goal of life very soon. Babuji was never in favor of donation. I remember that after a lot of persuasion, Babuji allowed to take Rs. 30 per delegate during functions with the instruction that no abhyasi should be compelled for it. Instead of taking anything from abhyasi, Babuji used to send money to some abhyasis who were financially weak so that they could attend Basant Utsav. He helped abhyasis financially even in other matters.
Babuji expects from abhyasis only efforts of attachment in sincerity, devotion and love for the Goal/God and rest work is done by Him. So the major work is done by Babuji Maharaj and the role of the abhyasi is very little. Abhyasi attains the highest goal of human life, i.e., God Realization with the least effort on his part because of help of transmission of Divine Grace from Pujya Babuji Maharaj.
