CHAPTER 17
The Yog of Threefold Faith

अनुद्वेगकरं वाक्यं सत्यं प्रियहिंत च यत्।
स्वाध्यायाभ्यसनं चैव वाङ्मयं तप उच्यते ॥15॥

[ “And utterance that does not agitate but is soothing, propitious, and truthful, and which is but an exercise in the study of Ved, in remembrance of the Supreme Being, and in Self-contemplation, is said to be the penance of speech.” ]

Articulation is also resorted to in order to give expression to thoughts that have a leaning towards objects of sensual gratification. Restraining it from this and steering it deliberately in the direction of God is the penance of speech. The last form we are apprised of is penance of the mind.
