!!!!!!.........The Essence Of Penance ( Tapasya)..............!!!!!!!!!!!
Before going further into what happened next, a short note on the meaning of the Sanskrit word “ Tapasya” is in order .It is derived from the root “tap” meaning to heat insufficiently translated as penance. According to Sri Aurobindo it implies :” A fierce and strong effort of all the human power towards any given end. It is a tremendous concentration of the will which sets the whole being aflame, masses all the faculties in close ranks and hurls them furiously on a single objective”.Thus, this was the original intent of the word ‘tapasya’’ – a concentration so intense that it product heat ( energy of force).
Indeed , the which moves us away from pleasure gained by the same organs, and yokes our inner selves with god is tapasya. The opposite of “ tap” the indulgence in sensual pleasure is “pat” which in Sanskrit also means to fall down and therefore “tap” suggests a gaining of spiritual heights . Tapasya means to gradually start bringing restraint into our live , giving up things one by one. Truly is it said:
“”If there is no desire in love it is a boon, The selfless devotee become god soon””
