"an ascetic life": austere, self-denying, abstinent, abstemious, self-disciplined, self-abnegating; simple, puritanical, monastic; reclusive, eremitic, hermitic; celibate, chaste.
"a desert ascetic": abstainer, puritan, recluse, hermit, anchorite, solitary; fakir, Sufi, dervish, sadhu; archaic eremite.
How can the practices of an ascetic life be relevant to Christians today? I believe that there's a lot to learn from the benefits of such a lifestyle.

Hmm indeed.
True practices of asceticism surely is the only way to
gain salvation,as it have been from the beginning until the end of time.
known to other schools of though as,self-
realization plus God-realization,the finding of the Christ,
whatever forms or names we chose to give this great science/art
in this life does not necessary change it essence.
The Grace of understanding which most Christians are lacking
is as a result of willingly ignoring this lifestyle which
is very much need on the path back home.
