Concept: After brahmacarya for yatis, the teaching proceeds to tapas—disciplined austerity as the next pillar of renunciant life.
Application: Choose sustainable tapas: regular japa, reduced indulgences, mindful fasting, early rising, and charity; keep austerity aligned with humility and devotion rather than ego.
