Tapas purifies your body and mind🔗

I always tell people, 'To receive the truth straightaway, you need the power of tapas. Tapas purifies you. Just like gold is purified through fire, tapas cleanses your body and mind of all the impurities, and all the unwanted garbage that you are carrying.

When your body is healthy and when your mind is unclouded by fantasies, the truth can be grasped by you straightaway. Tapas purifies the intellect, the emotions and the being. When the intellect is purified, it becomes intelligence. When the emotion is purified, it becomes devotion. When the being is purified, it becomes enlightenment.

I always tell people, 'To receive the truth straightaway, you need the power of tapas. Tapas purifies you. Just like gold is purified through fire, tapas cleanses your body and mind of all the impurities and unwanted garbage that you are carrying.

The whole purpose of tapas is to shift your emphasis from your personality to your individuality, from your ego to your Self, from mind to the bliss beyond mind, from suffering to joy, from pain to bliss.

Whatever has to be burned away in that process, let it burn away! Let whatever is not you be removed from you, so that whatever is really You remains. Even if it is a little painful, go through the tapas, go through the fire. You will see that you emerge as twenty-four carat gold. You become pure bliss, shuddha ananda.
