Even though outwardly the Fast is difficult and toilsome,
yet inwardly it is bounty and tranquillity. Purification and training are
conditioned and dependent only on such rigorous exercises as are in accord with
the Book of God and sanctioned by Divine law, not those which the deluded have
inflicted upon the people. Whatsoever God hath revealed is beloved of the soul.
We beseech Him that He may graciously assist us to do that which is pleasing
and acceptable unto Him.
