Fasting kills the ills of life. It brings resurrection of the sacred self which is God who is love in you. Love is a tariqa, a method, to kill you as a separate individual and to help you become the infinite. Disappear as a dewdrop and become the ocean, but you will have to pass through the door of love. And certainly when one starts disappearing like a dewdrop, and one has lived long as a dewdrop, it hurts, because one has been thinking, "I am this, and now this is going. I am dying. " You are not dying, but only an illusion is dying. You have become identified with the illusion, true, but the illusion is still an illusion.Fasting show you the illusion. And only when the illusion is gone will you be able to see who you are and now Live. And that revelation brings you to the ultimate peak of joy, bliss, celebration.
