What kind of advice did Baba give about the quantity of food one should eat?

Sai Baba advocated for a balanced and moderate approach to eating. While he was firmly against fasting, Chapter 32 also makes it clear that he did not condone gluttony, stating, "Excessive eating is also not beneficial." The ideal he promoted was that "Moderate eating is truly comfortable." This guidance positions itself between two harmful extremes. He described excessive fasting as "terrible" because it causes "continuous discomfort," making spiritual peace impossible. By advising moderation, Baba emphasized maintaining physical well-being as the foundation for a stable and peaceful mind capable of devotion.
