fast day 15-- Baha'u'llah standing before us

We have had a very enriching  consultation  on the  fast in our last  sunday morning  prayer at Port louis ,,dont remember who said that  quoting Baha'u'llah  Naw-ruz is a feast  for those who keep the fast  ,  I  believe that Baha'u'llah's purpose in ordaining the fast goes well beyond our puny conceptions. It was not to create a law by which to parade our good works and piety to others, nor a yardstick to condone the judging of others' sincerity in observance of their private spiritual obligations. Rather, it is Baha'u'llah's map to the moderate path that He so unfailingly recommended. He reveals the following in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:
"Lament not in your hours of trial, neither rejoice therein; seek ye the Middle Way which is remembrance of Me in your afflictions and reflection over that which may befall you in future. Thus informeth you He Who is the Omniscient, He Who is aware."

In the last analysis we can say YES and  NO,

 Feast who after 19 days of fasting WE cant deny it with what joy we break the fast and  welcoming the festivity ,IT IS a recompense a gift of Baha'u'llah after the 19 days of restraint
 and NO because
 Whether an individual Baha'i is fasting fully, partially or not at all, some are not untitle to do so and not permisible to fast ,  but   the month of Loftiness is a reminder TO ALL and remembrance. We remember who we are, with Whom we must converse, to Whom we owe our allegiance, and toward Whom we must journey. Thus reminded, we see Baha'u'llah standing before us, always beckoning us forward into the light.
OH BAHA'U'LLAH BRING US TOGETHER AS ONE FAMILY
