Jesus gave up food and water for a long time 40 days !
Some people give up a small item in life for that time frame !
All sacrifices are good – but those who give up all and do it the right way are absorbed in God
Few can do it the right way !
First – you have to learn the right way
Then understand it
Then practice it
It’s a long way !
What is the right way ? – to have pangs of love for God , so much that nothing in the world matters !
Of course there are many other subtleties in between
Any takers ?
