Shirdi sai says “Eat appropriate don’t fast”


FASTING FOR BABA

One lady came from shirdi with some devotees. She stayed in Baba’s house. She desired to undertake fasting for three days and be with Baba.
But Baba told her,”Mother, there is no need to undertake fasting. Go to Dada Bhats house, prepare puranpolis (sweet stuffed chapattis) and feed his children and you also eat. Hence Baba’s advice appeared to be timely. Accordingly to his advice she prepared puranpolis, served the children, beggars and animals, and ate some on her own. Fasting is only a method of regulating the digestive system and nothing more. To think that one gets some divine benefit from that is only a misconception. Apart from not getting benefit fasting makes a person weak with the result that one cannot attend to one’s normal duties. Those who worship Baba can take food and worship him.
