Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 It is not the duty of an intelligent person to try and subdue his material desires by undergoing severe penance. Rather, he should engage in the direct service of the Supreme Lord. Penance without devotional service is the act of a fool and is glorified only in the karma-kanda sections of the Vedas.
