If one were to follow Sai Baba's guidance on diet for spiritual life, what would be the key principles regarding eating and fasting?

Based on the wisdom shared in Chapter 32, the primary principle from Sai Baba would be to completely avoid fasting. He himself never fasted and did not allow others to do so, believing it created a restless mind unsuitable for spiritual benefit. The core instruction is to 'First satisfy the soul of the self,' emphasizing that God is not attained on an empty stomach. However, this is not an encouragement for gluttony. The text clearly warns that 'Excessive eating is also not beneficial.' Therefore, the key principle is balance and moderation. One should practice 'moderate eating,' which is described as 'truly comfortable' and provides the necessary strength for the senses to engage in devotion, avoiding the 'continuous discomfort' caused by excessive fasting.
