What is fasting?

 Fasting is having everything, but not wanting to eat. You must be aware of the difference between fasting and starving.

Siva Shankar Baba’s spirituality advocates fasting in the name of God. It does not appreciate starvation. Be wealthy. Reach a good status in life. Be loving towards your family. Gain a good reputation. But do not get caught in anything.

You should be wealthy, but you should not fall prey to luxuries. You should attain fame, but you should not become conceited. Be loving towards your spouse and children, but remember that they too are wayfarers in the journey of life.

The Only Truth is God. Your concentration must be focused always on reaching His Lotus Feet. Be with the world and be without it. This is Siva Shankar Baba’s philosophy.
