Sai Baba emphasized that the highest form of service is to feed the hungry. As detailed in Chapter 9, he gave this instruction: "Know such is my mercy; give bread to the hungry first. Afterward, eat for your own stomach; keep this well in your heart." He considered this an absolute truth, spoken from the Mosque. This teaching was not just a metaphor; he explained to a devotee that when she fed a hungry dog, he himself felt satisfied and was "still getting belches," demonstrating his complete identification with the hungry and the immediate spiritual benefit of such selfless service.
