In this track, Swamiji emphasizes the importance of Austerity in the life of a seeker. It empowers one to penetrate into the mental and intellectual plane and bring refinement and moderation.

Defining austerity, Swamiji says that Austerity is an effort to bridle, reform and refine the mind and removing all the undesirable elements in it.

Austerity may begin from the sensory, oral and mental level. But the austerity becomes maximum and most central when the intelligence prefers to reflect upon the self and then wants to realize it in its own fullness.

Shlokas chanted in the Track:

संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं
(Rigveda X-192-2).
