The fasting of that person is real for whom the fasting becomes akin to applying brakes as far as forbidden things in the eyes of God are concerned.
The aim of fasting for man is to apply a brake on his desires so that he may stick to the desirable deeds in this world. Symbolically speaking, the position of fasting is akin to applying brakes to the engine in human life.
When a person has elevated himself from the world by observing fast, God endows him with wisdom, which emanates from his lips. He is shown the ills of the world, and their remedies. He is brought safely to the abode of peace.
