Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 66

The way of austerity

Kuhanena Prayogena Sadya Eva Mrigekshane|

"By forcing the reluctant body, mind and intellect into wilfully doing things, speaking and thinking things that are divine, the application of austerity or tapas sharpens the instruments of action," oh gazelle-eyed Parvathi, says Shiva. By practice of many austerities, a supreme Ananda arises and the truth also shines, he says. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
