Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Principle and its Perversion—II The caution not to go to extremes in tapasya also gets a similar fate. Man's normal nature is sensuous. The mind wants comforts and hates austerity. The indiscriminating aspirant conveniently ignores the qualifying adjective " extremes " in the advice quoted above and views all Tapasya with disfavour. The result is to degenerate into luxury, lose even the minimum of Titiksha and become a slave to hundred wants. The warning is against foolish extremes but to a Sadhak in the early stages a certain degree of austerity is essential for development.
