Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”. The Buddha, as is well known, emphasized moderation, the Middle Way that avoids extremes, in all things. Fasting is an additional method that one can take up, with supervision, for a time.

The magic of the depths of the inner mind is such that illiterate Kabir and Kalidas

will be able to achieve success without understanding the science of the depths
of mind?
