His servants were like members of his own family, and were paid on due dates. According to him, servants were helpers and should be engaged to do work which their masters could not generally do themselves. Breaking of promise, spending more money on ceremonial occasions than one could afford to, were strongly disliked by him. Backbiters got no sympathy from him. On contrary, they were strongly reprimanded – “You have not been appointed spies,” he would say, and bring them to the right path at once.
Sri Lalaji was transferred from Kaimganj to Fatehgarh in the year 1908. He began for most of the time, to live in seclusion and to remain lost in God. There was an old servant who did all the house work. Lalaji’s personality, mode of living and general behavior impressed his neighbors greatly and they loved him dearly and respected greatly.
