Based on the provided text, what was Sai Baba's daily lifestyle and diet like, and what underlying principles did it reflect?

Sai Baba's lifestyle was a unique blend of perfect renunciation and the practical behavior of a householder, designed to guide His dependents. As Chapter 23 explains, He demonstrated a great fondness for humility and immense love for the lowly. His diet was exceptionally simple, consisting of daily alms (Madhukari) of dry or moist bread collected from a few houses. He did not indulge His sense of taste, crave sweets, or practice severe austerities like fasting or Hatha Yoga. By consuming whatever He received, whether plain or good, He showed that the body was merely a means to liberation and should be maintained without attachment, remaining always free of ego.
