Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam -

What is the significance of the fast that is observed during the holy month of Ramzan? Bhagawan
lovingly explains to us today.

The month of Ramzan is dedicated to the holy task of

remembering and practicing the teachings of Hazrat Muhammad
to attain that stage of unity and purity which is truly Divine. Islam
gives importance to the Moon which regulates the months. With
the darshan (sighting) of the New Moon, Ramzan fast begins
and when the New Moon is seen again, the fast ends. 'Fast' is
not merely desisting from food and drink, it is subjecting the
body, senses and mind to rigorous discipline. Fast begins at
sunrise and is broken only after sunset. Waking early at four,
prayer begins, and throughout the day, constant presence of
God is sought to be experienced. This is the meaning
of Upavasa (fast). During the Ramzan month, rivalry is avoided,
hatred is suspended, and all follow the same spiritual regimen
with an atmosphere of brotherhood. The Quran emphasises that
all should cultivate the sense of unity, of interdependence, of
selfless love and of the immanence of the Divine.

God is One and the teachings in all faiths that exalt Him are all on Love,
Compassion, Tolerance and Sympathy. – Baba
