The source material indicates that a very large proportion of devotees who came to Maharaj had worldly desires (Sakam). Rather than dismissing them, Maharaj's approach was to first satisfy their desires. After fulfilling their initial requests, he would then seamlessly turn their minds toward their ultimate welfare.

He aimed to do good for everyone, guiding them from their worldly concerns toward a path of higher spiritual benefit, demonstrating his role as a Sadguru.
