Fasting for a time, but all the while thinking of the forbidden feast at the end, is throwing food to desire. It grows stronger as it waits. The discipline of true fasting is a feast for the soul, with the heart and mind immersed in God. Only then is craving for what is not useful rendered powerless.

Once the destination is clear, a wise person selects the route most consistent with their goal and then follows it. Commitment to one’s chosen spiritual path is essential. Trying to follow several paths, even though they are compatible, dissipates energy and leads to confusion. With unwavering dedication, firm resolve, and faith, press on.
