The sincere devotee loves God deeply whether he is non-active and silently meditating on God, or in the midst of a whirl of outer activities.
Trust God completely and he will solve all difficulties. Faithfully leave everything to Him and He will see to everything.
Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”. The Buddha, as is well known, emphasized moderation, the Middle Way that avoids extremes, in all things. Fasting is an additional method that one can take up, with supervision, for a time.

Cosmic consciousness is consciousness of the Divine in the entire universe, in all things, in all the world, in all nature.
