    This is for those who are making too much fast to get bless from God..

    Sometimes we all ,in the frustations making more fasts to get noticed from the BABA..

    Please read ,its from SSC..

    Fasting and Mrs. Gokhale

    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 be 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 get their proper nutrition and are sound, we can practise devotion and other sadhanas to attain God. Therefore, neither fasting nor overeating is good. Moderation in diet is really, wholesome, both to the body and mind.

    One Mrs. Gokhale, came to Shirdi, with an introductory letter, from Mrs. Kashibai Kanitkar (a devotee of Baba), to Dada Kelkar. She came to Baba, with a determination to sit at Baba's Feet observing a three days fast. The day previous, Baba said to Dada Kelkar, that He would not allow his children to starve during the Shimga, i.e., Holi holidays, and that if they had to starve, why was He there? Next day, when the woman went with Dada Kelkar and sat at Baba's Feet, Baba at once said to her- "Where is the necessity of fasting? Go to Dadabhat's house, prepare the dish of Puran Polis (wheat rotis with gram-flour and jaggery), feed his children and yourself too." Shimga holidays were on. Mrs. Kelkar was then in her menses, and there was nobody to cook in Dadabhat's house. So Baba's advice was very timely. Then, Mrs. Gokhale had to go to Dadabhat's house, and prepare the dish as directed. She cooked that day, fed others and herself. What a good story and how beautiful its import (meaning)!
