Thanks, Dave. Hoping that through fasting we can increase our love and faithfulness to our divine Creator, to Baha’u’llah; that we might become more forgetful of self, and ever mindful of His blessings and guidance as prescribed in His Laws.

David:
Excellent reflections on fasting. Another choice quote:
________
He is God, exalted be He, the Lord of majesty and power
These days are the days of fasting, and the dawning-place of the evidences of the grace of God. Fasting reduceth carnal inclinations, and increaseth spiritual tendencies; it transmuteth sensual desire into divine guidance, and turneth disloyalty into faithfulness. It is the most potent medicine, the greatest remedy, for the edification of the self. In it lie hidden sundry wisdoms, and manifold benefits as yet untold.
– Baha’u’llah, provisional translation, by Adib Masumian, of a passage revealed in commemoration of the Nineteen-Day Fast. The original text of this passage is published in Ḥadíqiy-i-ʻIrfán, p. 126.
