Sai lays a lot of stress on punctuality. He says that time is very precious, give importance to it and do not waste it, once it passes it will never come back. Every moment is valuable, use it wisely!
Even during significant events like marriage or Bhog Sahib of Akhand Path, Sai always concludes it on time, even if the concerned devotees have not yet reached!
Sai himself also are very punctual and during meeting with other Saints, He always stresses on the importance of time and asks them to follow the same strictly, how else will the devotees learn the same, He asks?
Jap-ji-Sahib, Sukhmani Sahib, Asa-di-vaar, Rahraas and Kirtan Sohila are our five Granths, which should be read daily. He asks that unless we Saints memorise and recite the Bani thoroughly and daily, how else will the devotees learn and form these habits?
Sai is very strict about these principles and in following them, He would never forgive Himself and not others too!
