Why should we fast?? Surely, we have many purposes, because of religion memorial moment or because we just want to clean our mind and soul. Like a machine, our body needs a rest,so we rest it when fasting. We perform every single day, that's why we should do it.
The benefits of Fasting are, for instance, stabilizing colesterol that is suspected as the most horor in our body, and getting body immune, so as to be like Arjuna who gets supernatural power from God.
I think we need 3 composers for balancing our life. IQ (intelligence quotient), EQ (Emotionall Quotient) and SQ (Spiritual Quotient). Fasting is a spiritual activity that is useful for our mind so as to clear our heart. Then we can create new ideas which strengthen our imagination, like in this wise quote "Your dreams that come true begin from your imagination". Praise The Lord that creates beautifull creatures like us. (rian)
