Activity of the day: Austerity in action

INFERENCE:

Kṛṣṇa talks about austerity in action, śarīraṁ tapa as well. He speaks about the five conditions that are also in Patañjali's Aṣtāṇga Yoga as the five disciplines of yama: satya, ahiṁsā, asteya, aparigṛha and brahmacarya. These mean truth in thoughts, words and deeds embodying nonviolence, non-covetousness, simplicity and living in reality with the focus on the Supreme as the ultimate in any kind of penance.
