Jesus, His Disciples And Many Great Teachers Fasted

When the great city of Alexandria, Egypt was the educational center of the world, people had to fast for 40 days before they could enter and study with the master of that time. Jesus fasted for forty days, and his disciples also took long fasts. All of history's great spiritual teachers have had great confidence in the power of fasting--not only to improve the physical body, but to have a keener spiritual understanding of the divine power that is higher than ourselves. Your mental power increases! Prove it to yourself. See how much sharper and more alert your mind becomes after a fast. Notice how quickly you acquire facts . . . how much more your mind absorbs and remembers what you read.

Fasting clears away the thousand little things which quickly accumulate and clutter the body, mind and heart. It cuts through corrosion and renews our contract with God.

Paul C. Bragg
