Prioritizing Deep Desires: Fasting and Freedom
Unchecked surface desires tend to consume our lives, yet deep desires hold the utmost importance.

Fasting serves as a form of prayer, allowing us to focus on our deep desires by restraining surface desires.

Recognizing and shifting our focus from these substitute gods to our true selves is crucial for fulfillment and liberation.
