Penance enlightens the inner and outer if being done in true sprit. Errors their in may leads to sad happenings on the face of results. Penance means true spirit for fair acts in life.
Good will for all, Truth in acts, control of senses, realization, making good use of time on the chart of sadachaar make one to reach at the true track of penance. Undue hardship by fasting, or tough tracks of chanting must be avoided to reach at true level of penance.
Simplicity of mind and heart is must for the success of any penance.
Those adore the path of true penance in the lotus feet of Sri Tulsi ji really achieve the true meaning of being self on the subject of life.
May lord bless all.
Thanks please.
