Quotable

From Hugh Nibley's "A House of Glory":

Fasting is the most effective way to slacken the grasp of this telestial world on the mind and to move toward another ambiance. To fast is to do without some normal necessities; your everyday considerations must be put aside because you will be doing other things that require a totally different mind set. To fast is to disengage from the temporal and wasteful activities of the "real world."
