There is a time for action and a time for rest.
A time for ritual fasting, and a time for pancakes covered in butter and maple syrup.
A time for purification, and a time to get dirt under your fingernails.
It's called balance.
As a long time spiritual aspirant, who grew up Christian, I used to believe that my worthiness and evidence of my "spiritualness" was my ability to discipline myself and practice austerities like fasting for long periods of time. There is definitely benefit to disciplining the body and the mind through these kinds of practices. However, I found that as much as they tamed some of my ways, they lit a fire under other unproductive ones, judgement being the first that comes to mind.
