   Tapasya---austerity. Do not give into desires for the over indulgence of sensory pleasure. There are sense and there is a certain need for basic fulfillment of certain needs, but beyond that is none of your business. One must not eat too much or eat too little-- sleep too much or sleep to little.Moderation is the key. Minimize as much as possible--
