If Baba was against fasting, what was his advice on the right amount to eat?

While Sai Baba strongly discouraged fasting, he did not advocate for uncontrolled eating. His guidance pointed towards a balanced and sensible approach. According to Chapter 32, he taught that "Excessive eating is also not beneficial. Moderate eating is truly comfortable." This indicates a clear preference for moderation. Just as he viewed excessive fasting as something "terrible" that causes "continuous discomfort," the implication is that overindulgence is also detrimental. The core principle was to eat enough to maintain the strength of the senses for devotion, but to avoid the discomfort of both excess and deprivation.
