The seed question is about feeding a dog, but the text mentions feeding ants. Was it Sai Baba who told Kashiram to feed ants with sugar?

No, the instruction to feed ants did not come from Sai Baba. According to the information in Chapter 0, it was another saint named Janakidas Baba who advised Kashiram to feed sugar to ants. This advice was very important to Kashiram, and he carried a bundle of powdered sugar specifically for this purpose. The text highlights this detail to explain why he was so determined to protect that particular bundle when he was attacked by robbers, even risking his life for it. Sai Baba's interactions with Kashiram in this passage centered on the lessons of humility and giving Dakshina.
