THE FAST
Fasting is the cause of awakening man. The hearth becomes tender and the spirituality of man increases. This is produced by the fact that man's thoughts will be confined to the commemoration of God, and through this awakening and stimulation surely ideal advancements follow...The material fasting is abstaining from food or drink, that is, that man abstain from appetites of the body. But spiritual, ideal fasting is this, that man abstain from selfish passions, from negligence and from satanic animal traits...

Monday night , my friend Arman from Australia invited his friends to come over to break the fast together. As usual routine during the fast, people ate first then say their prayer afterwards or the other way around.And this time each of us (above photo) say prayer first before we eat. These people, i considered them as my friends, as the saying goes "Your friend/s is my friend/s.)
