Sai Baba advocated for a balanced and moderate approach to consumption. While he was strongly against fasting, he also cautioned against overeating. Chapter 32 explicitly states that "Excessive eating is also not beneficial." The ideal path, according to his teaching, was moderation. The text beautifully summarizes this by explaining, "Moderate eating is truly comfortable." This is contrasted with the idea that "Fasting in excess is terrible - it causes continuous discomfort." Therefore, Baba's guidance was not merely about eating versus not eating, but about finding a comfortable and sustainable middle path for both physical and spiritual well-being.
Beyond just discouraging fasting, what was Sai Baba's advice on the proper amount of food one should consume?
