What is the proper etiquette for a householder when a guest arrives asking for food?

The guidance in Chapter 38 is very clear regarding hospitality. A householder should satisfy any guest who arrives with a food donation, regardless of whether the time is convenient or not. The text strongly warns that those who turn away a hungry person from their door are inviting their own downfall. It is considered improper to disrespect anyone who comes to the door at any time. This principle underscores the immense importance of Annadan, which Baba himself practiced by following these worldly customs and feeding people, as proven by the Shrutis (Vedas).
