And God closed the gates of fire, so if the gates of fire were closed, it returned itself to it, so its heat doubled on it, and it consumed each other. Likewise, the fasting person, in accordance with his nature, if he fasts, closes the gates of his natural fire, and he finds the fasting person excessive heat due to not using refreshments, and he finds the pain of that in his interior, and his desire for food, which he imagines comfort by obtaining, is doubled. The fire of his desire is strengthened by closing the door to eating foods and drinks.
