Fasting enhances through creation of artificial non-availability, the value of the bounties of God which man often takes for granted. This inculcates in man a spirit of gratitude and consequent devotion to God. Nothing else can bring home to a man the worth of Gods bounties than a glass of water and a square meal after a day long fast. This also reminds man that the real joy in enjoying Gods bounties lies in moderation and restraint and not in over indulging.
