Was Sai Baba a vegetarian, or did he eat meat? The sources seem confusing on this topic.

The sacred texts clarify this point by addressing a potential doubt about Sai Baba's practices. Chapter 38 explains that while Baba did cook and distribute food that sometimes contained meat, he was very particular about who received it. He would only serve meat-mixed food as Prasad to those who were already habitual meat-eaters. For devotees who did not have this habit, he would not even let them touch the meat, ensuring he never created a new craving in them. This shows his careful consideration for the individual practices of his followers.
