The principal purpose of man here on Earth is to grow spiritually. Man’s dealings with and acquisition of temporal things should be only to the extent necessary to advance his spiritual growth to the maximum. In fact, one greatest personal strength is usually acquired during the brief periods of his life when he detaches himself from things temporal. Christ indicated that the greatest damaging influence and evils in man's life can be withstood only by faith, a special faith which comes only by prayer. It states in D&C 131:5-6 The man cannot be saved in ignorance. But ignorance of what? Of a man's knowledge that he is filled up unto eternal life, by Revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy priesthood. Then it is not secular knowledge that man must first possess, but spiritual faith and knowledge. Fasting can be of great assistance in this. In order to achieve Faith unto salvation, one must concentrate on it. This concentration should be regular intervals as well as special times. fasting, which includes the absence from things temporal, enables individual to be free from Earthly considerations and to focus their attention on spiritual values.
