There are times when there is nothing that can be said or written by another that would be useful in helping to lead him out of his apparent spiritual stagnation. It may be something in his way of living or what he eats or drinks which is contributing to the stagnation. If so, there is nothing equal to a few short twenty-four or thirty-six hour fasts to discover what it is, for then the true instincts of the body begin to be restored.
