What is the importance of fasting
A spiritual teaching on the practice and benefits of gradual fasting.
"Slowly, day by day, try to decrease your diet. If you eat 100 spoons of rice, then every day reduce one spoon."
"Fasting removes the tamas guṇa from the body, and the body has time to regenerate. Immunity will increase... Mind, emotion, and intellect will be balanced."
The speaker provides a detailed method for incrementally reducing food intake over two months, explaining that this disciplined fasting purifies the body by reducing tamas guṇa (inertia). The claimed benefits include improved regeneration, immunity, memory, mental balance, and lung capacity, framed as a path to physical and emotional well-being.
