The zaddik of Lublin was no friend of asceticism, and the hasid’s fast was certainly not designed to please him, but to lift the hasid’s soul to a higher “rung”; the Seer himself had admitted that fasting could serve this purpose in the initial stage of a person’s development and also later, at critical moments of his life.
