- Baba never fasted Himself, nor did He allow others to do so.
- The mind of the faster is never at ease, then how could he attain his Paramartha (goal of life)?
- God is not attained on an empty stomach; first the soul has to be appeased.
- If there is no moisture of food in the stomach and nutrition,
- with what eyes should we see God,
- with what tongue should we describe His greatness and
- with what ears should we hear the same?
- In short, when all our organs receive adequate nutrition and remain sound, we can practice devotion. This also allows us to perform other sadhanas to attain God.
- Therefore, neither fasting nor overeating is good. Moderation in diet is really wholesome both to the body and mind.
