Jalál {Glory), 2 ‘Alá’ (Loftiness) 174 B.E. - Saturday, March 3, 2018 Second Day of Fast "Verily, I say, fasting is the supreme remedy and the most great healing for the disease of self and passion." Baha’u’llah12 One of the benefits of fasting is learning detachment form material things. I had a lesson in detachment this morning. I have recently (within the past year or more) become attached to my smartphone. As a result, sometimes I hold in in my hand when I go to sleep. Now if I slept on a bed this wouldn't be a problem, but I sleep in a recliner. This means that when I fall asleep, the phone falls onto the recliner and will go into the loose areas. I looked for it, but couldn't find it in the recliner (it should have been easy to find). It turns out that my roommate borrowed the phone to play a game. I called my smartphone number from the house phone, but I couldn't hear the my smartphone ring because it was under her pillow. I decided since I couldn't find it, I'd call my provider when their customer care center opened to see if they could send me another phone. I have my phone, so now I don't have to call the customer service number. I'm glad that my house mate could use it while she's waiting for her new smartphone to come through the mail.
