If a guest arrives at an inconvenient time, what is the prescribed conduct for a householder regarding food?

The guidance provided in Chapter 38 is unequivocal on this matter. It states that if a guest arrives at a right or wrong time, the householder has a duty to satisfy them with food donation. The text warns that those who turn away guests without offering food are inviting their own downfall. It further elaborates that it is not good to disrespect whoever comes to the door, at any time. This principle is rooted in the understanding that the life-force becomes restless without food, and a good person understands in their heart that others experience this just as they do. Baba himself followed this custom of feeding people.
