In clear cases of weakness, illness, or injury the law of the Fast is not binding. This injunction is in conformity with the precepts of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future. Well is it with them who act accordingly. Bahá’u’lláh
Verily, I say, fasting is the supreme remedy and the most great healing for the disease of self and passion. Bahá’u’lláh
"O God! as I am fasting from the appetites of the body and not occupied with eating and drinking, even so purify and make holy my heart and my life from aught else save Thy Love… Thus may the spirit associate with the Fragrances of Holiness and fast from everything else save Thy mention." Abdu’l-Bahá
Well is it with you, as you have followed the Law of God and arisen to observe the Fast during these blessed days, for this physical fast is a symbol of the spiritual fast. This Fast leadeth to the cleansing of the soul from all selfish desires, the acquisition of spiritual attributes, attraction to the breezes of the All-Merciful, and enkindlement with the fire of divine love. Abdu’l-Bahá
Fasting is the cause of the elevation of one's spiritual station. Abdu’l-Bahá
