"Mere abstention from food has no effect on the spirit. It is only a symbol, a reminder."
this is what that was goin on in me mind the whole day today... im not sure if im doin it right.. i even unconsciously slipped a kacang in me mouth to test if it had masuk angin! SIN i have! :(
i hope that 1 kacang didnt harm me fast..
i wanna find what is that effect it has on the spirit... and how isit some people come to love the fast so much...
18days to go to find out...

Lol, are you saying you don't love it?
Anyway, don't sweat about the kacang, once I was cooking spagetthi for breakfast, and I had some sauce on my finger when I finished, I absent-minded-ly licked it...it was about half an hour before time to breakfast too...I felt so bad after that....But i think, in the essence of it all, it's not so much that we refrain from food that counts...
More to our willpower and inner strength...Accidents are merely what it is, accidents.
I agree with Sab Sab...its the sincerity of motive that counts. Lets NOT compare...but what's the difference between a person who fasted 19 Days and 19 Nights while not being faithful to the laws and a person who struggles yet is being faithful to the covenant?
Hmm...food for thought...hahha what a pun. ;)
aww...thanks babes!
yeah i blive that too la.. now its opposite, at nite oso im like thinkin im fasting.. haha..me poor head!
OMG, I get what you mean...I'd be in front of the com, thirsty but not drink...only to realize much later..."Oi, adui, fasting over for the day d lah" -_-"
Pekkie is right as well, I don't think practices, while important, should mean more than the essence that you get and retain from the teaching...but that is not to say the practices should be ignored lah
