Esoteric interpretation
Fasting can function in the poster as an image of discipline, simplification or turning attention away from habitual consumption. That gives a bodily practice a place in its spiritual transformation story. The label alone does not specify a tradition, duration or method. It should not be merged with breatharianism or treated as proof that an awakened person no longer needs nourishment.
