About fasting and almsgiving
behold , the life of the man dies , it always dies , for the man does not know which his life is , and does not know to dedicate it to Me , and to give it to Me .
I am your life , man . Your soul from your body is broken out of My breath of life . I gave it to you when you were created in the beginning , through the first created man . It is through him that every man has his own life , which does not die , for I am the One Who does not die . My breath of life from the man does not die as well , but the man is without mind and knows nothing , nothing . He does not know how to fast from death ; he does not know not to eat death , and he does not know not to give to his soul to eat death . Oh , there is no man who knows what fasting is , the true fasting . He , who fasts on the earth , abstains from food . He , who fasts from food , that one fasts to be saved , or to be saved from the troubles what come upon him , or to get away from his enemies or illnesses , or in order do well in life and to those in his house . This is how the man knows about fasting . The man fasts for his own self , not for Me , for the one who fasts for Me , does no longer live for himself , but for Me and for those who take after Me .
Oh , you sons , who hear from heaven My word over the earth , the man does not have to live for his own self , and the one who does this , does not know what life is ; the life that never dies . The man lives for his own self and for those that came out of him , and he does not live for Me . The man does not fast for Me when he fasts , but he fasts for himself instead , and he fasts for his own good . If the man fasted as the fasting is supposed to be , then he should no longer work as much as he does . If the man did not love the greed for those that were not , he would be happy within many eternal gifts . But the man runs and works for those that are not , and gives his soul for them , and his soul is from Me , by the first created man . Behold , this is how the man nourishes his soul .
I put the breath of life in the man created by My hand , and he pulled himself out from Me and withdrew into himself with all of My gift , with the breath of life that I gave him , as what I put in him , I did not take back , but I call the man to account for the gift of the life which does not die . The soul does not die , and it comes back to Me , but I call the man to account for those that he had done to his soul .
Man , tell Me what the word „ fast ” is , in order to give you a crown , if you know . Who is the one who knows not to be indebted to the science ? For the man , after he pulled himself out of Me , stole his knowledge from God and knows , and he is indebted to the knowledge of God , if he does not know about it . I told the man to eat and not to eat , and I taught him what food was and what fasting was , but the man fell off the obedience and he has no longer known what obedience is . Obedience is fasting ; it , and not as the man knows that fasting is . The one who does not listen can fast anyhow he wants for he does not fast for Me . The man has to fast from his wills , as he cannot keep My commandments for everlasting life otherwise . But the man on the earth does not know what the word „ obedience ” means , and he does not like to live for Me and not for his own self ; for other and not for himself . The one , who lives for his own self , does not make life , either for Me or for anyone else , and not even for himself . The one who lives for his own self , that one remains in his wills and does not live , for he has nothing to live for .
The man pulled himself out from Me and withdrew into himself for disobedience , for immorality , for the will of his instincts that fell from the life , which does not die . The man who woke up against Me chose disobedience towards God and the immorality of his own instincts .
