Sai says that selfless service, nishkam seva, never goes a waste.
Citing an example He said, once while travelling from Ajmer to Jaipur, His taxi broke down near a place called Dadu. It was winters and evening time. Sai tried to stop some vehicles, but no one stopped. Sai waived and tried stop one jeep which was going towards Ajmer, but he too did not stop. After going ahead about 200 meters, he turned back, as during those days it was not 6 lane roads or there were no dividers as such. He got down, came and asked, “Are you the Saint from Halani Darbar Sahib? Forgive me I could not recognise you because of your coat and in a hurry went ahead. Please order me, where is it you want to go.”
Sai told him that His taxi broke down and He is in a hurry to catch a flight from Jaipur. That person loaded the luggage in his jeep and while talking to Sai during the journey, told Sai that both his parents had undergone the eye surgery in the camp organised in Darbar and they were very pleased with the seva there.
After reaching the destination, when Sai asked him as to how much to pay, he refused to take anything, saying that, as it is my jeep was going empty, and we are also indebted to you! But inspite of this, Sai gave him the fare and then left!
