What is Sai Baba's primary instruction regarding food and helping the hungry, as mentioned in the sacred texts?

Sai Baba gave a very clear and powerful instruction regarding food and charity while sitting in the Mosque. As detailed in Chapter 9, he told a devotee that his mercy is demonstrated through a simple, profound act. He commanded, "give bread to the hungry first. Afterward, eat for your own stomach; keep this well in your heart." He emphasized that this was the "absolute truth." He then connected this teaching to a direct experience, explaining that when the devotee fed a hungry dog, she had in fact fed him directly due to his oneness with all creatures. This underscores that feeding the hungry is not just an act of charity, but a direct form of worship and service to Baba himself.
