do austerities that are within your tolerance levels

 



तद् व्रतमाचरितव्यं यत्र न संशयतुलामारोहतः शरीरमनसि॥
सोमदेवकृते नीतिवाक्यामृते
tad vratamācaritavyaṁ yatra na saṁśayatulāmārohataḥ śarīramanasi|| somadevakṛte nītivākyāmṛte
A person should start or pursue with only those penances and austerities that do not compromise or place in jeopardy his mental and physical well-being.
The poet indicates that a person should never attempt to touch the critical point where his mental or physical wellbeing would crumble.

A quote from Neetivaakyaamrutam of Somadeva. A First century

A D creation
