In this track, Poojya Swamiji speaks about how one can make life austere. It is necessary to practice physical austerity which means moderation in food, speech, sleep, enjoyment etc. Ultimately the austerity is by the mind and the intelligence. Even the physical austerities will result only when one’s mind and intelligence are conscious of the need and process of austerity.

Austerity does not mean that we would do less work. The work done would remain the same, the effort we put in also would remain the same. The only thing that would be different is the attitude and the objective with which we do the work.
