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 a number of paths, even though they are compatible, dissipates energy and leads to confusion. With unwavering dedication, firm resolve, and faith, press on.
