How did Sai Baba ensure that the distribution of meat-based Prasad did not offend or corrupt his vegetarian devotees?

Sai Baba exercised great sensitivity and care in the distribution of Prasad. Chapter 38 makes it very clear that he had a bifurcated approach. When the cooked food, which sometimes included meat, was ready, Baba would serve it himself. The text states, "Only to those who were habitual meat-eaters did He serve this food." For devotees who had never been associated with meat consumption in their lives, Baba would not even let them touch it. He never committed the "rashness of giving them a craving for it through the Prasad." This meticulous separation ensured that the dietary and religious sensibilities of his vegetarian devotees were always respected and protected.
