Sai Sadhuram Sahib had said He did not want to preside over the gaddi, yet the disciples had always accepted Sai as their Guru.
After Baba Gobinddas Sahib, whatever money orders arrived in His name, were returned to the postman by Sai Sadhuram Sahib. The postman was surprised at this and reported to the postmaster. The postmaster came to Darbar to find out why the money orders had not been accepted. Sai explained that the money orders had come in Baba Gobinddas Sahib’s name, and now that Baba was no more, He could not accept them. The postmaster said that Sai Sadhuram Sahib had always signed and accepted them earlier. Sai agreed that he had accepted them then, but now it was not right that he should accept them in Baba’s name. Hearing this, the postmaster became emotional and tears rolled up in his eyes.
As a mark of respect to the elders and a custom, Sai did not leave Ajmer for a year after Baba Gobinddas Sahib left for heavenly abode. Nevertheless all the other Darbar activities, satsangs, etc. continued in the same manner as before from morning to night.
