CHAPTER 17
The Yog of Threefold Faith
मन:प्रसाद: सौम्यत्वं मौनमात्मविनिग्रह:। [ “Affable temperament, tranquillity, silent meditation, self-possession, inner purity, and the like are said to be penance of the mind.” ] Simultaneous practice of the three kinds of penance - of body, speech and mind-is the truly worthwhile penance. श्रद्धया परया तप्तं तपस्तत्त्रिविधं नरै:। [ “The threefold types of penance undergone with utmost faith by selfless persons who do not desire any fruit thereof is said to be truly righteous.”] The other kind of self-mortification is that which is indulged in by persons whose temperament is that of rajas, or passion. |
