Weaning the Soul from Lust
#Fasting is a natural antidote against LUST.
Whether we fast for spiritual or therapeutic reasons, the absence of nutrients in our body sends us into a uniquely disciplined pattern of self-control.
By fasting, we temporarily tame passions and subdue cravings. With reduced nutrients diminishing physical passions, our heightened spiritual awareness helps us sublimate worldly appetites.
For he who fasts, is light and active, and prays wakefully, and quenches his evil lusts, and humbles his proud stomach. And he who prays with his fasting, has two wings, lighter than the winds themselves.
