Why Tapas
My whole life was tapas
During my days of tapas, my spiritual wandering, I endured all kinds of rigors. Many times I had to go without a meal for days. I lived in so many kinds of harsh climates, wearing just a single piece of cloth on my body.
When I talk about it, people say, 'Oh, you have done so much tapas!' But to tell you honestly, at that time I never felt that it was something extraordinary..! I never felt that I was doing some great tapas. Actually, I was enjoying it, because there was such a deep longing in my heart to experience the truth! If I had realized at that time that it was extraordinary, that idea itself would have been too intense to let me to achieve the results.
