Sai Baba's approach to feeding people was rooted in love, personal service, and deep consideration for the individual. As detailed in Chapter 38, his primary joy came from satisfying the hunger of the poor and weak. He was completely hands-on, from buying ingredients to cooking and serving. Regarding dietary restrictions, his philosophy was remarkably nuanced. While he did prepare food that included meat, he was extremely discerning about its distribution. He only gave meat-mixed Prasad to those who were already habitual meat-eaters. For devotees who were vegetarian, he scrupulously respected their practice, ensuring they were not even exposed to it. This demonstrates a core principle of respecting individual backgrounds while fulfilling his mission to feed all with love and affection.
