Educational Q&A
A yogin should live with disciplined simplicity, taking whatever food is obtained by alms without preference, and using different simple items in rotation—cultivating contentment, non-craving, and steadiness of practice.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and the ascetic/yogic path, Bhishma advises the listener on practical conduct for a yogin—specifically, how to maintain the body through modest alms-food while avoiding indulgence and attachment.
