חכם אחד צוה לבנו שלא יהנה יותר מדאי בעולם הזה שלא יעברו עליו שמנה ימים בלא תענית ואפילו על שונאו יתפלל שיעבוד להקב"ה:

**Medieval Jewish mysticism, translated by Sholom Alchanan Singer. Northbrook, Ill. Whitehall Co., 1971:**
There was one wise man who commanded his son that he shouldn't derive too much pleasure from this World and no eight days should pass for him without a fast and that even for his enemy he should pray that he should serve the Holy One, blessed be He.
