Healthy way of fasting
The human body is a wondrous coach for spiritual journey. The full moon is a spiritually potent time for purification through disciplined fasting, which cleanses physical impurities and strengthens willpower. This body is pulled by the ten wild horses of the senses. The intellect acts as the reins and the mind as the driver to control them. When the light of knowledge is lit within this coach, the king—the soul—is realized. Viveka, the discerning advisor, uses the arrow of the guru's word to destroy negative passions. This vehicle can contain entire universes in consciousness, leading to inner harmony and bliss.
"These ten horses are wild. And can you imagine the ten wild horses pulling one coach?"
"Jñān kī bhattī ratme lagāī. So, the light of knowledge we light it in this coach."
