Sai Baba taught that feeding the hungry is of paramount importance. As recounted in Chapter 9, he gave a devotee the direct instruction, "give bread to the hungry first. Afterward, eat for your own stomach; keep this well in your heart." He demonstrated this principle when a lady fed a hungry dog. Baba later told her, "Consuming that bread of love, I became completely satisfied. I am still getting belches." He explained his oneness with the dog, revealing that serving any hungry creature was equivalent to serving him directly, emphasizing this as a core aspect of his mercy.
