It is very easy. If you take to this, you have everything sublime and your life becomes sublime. You haven&#039;t got to give up anything. The material needs are there, eating, sleeping, mating and defending. That is not disallowed, but adjusted for Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We cannot allow eating, mating, like animals, cats and dogs. No. That is not possible. You&#039;ll eat, you&#039;ll mate, but just like human being, civilized man. Then what is the distinction between animal and man if we behave like animals? Kṛṣṇa, God, is pure. So if you keep yourself in impure condition of life, then how you can make progress towards purity, highest perfection, purity? Paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān ([[Vanisource:BG 10.12|BG 10.12]]). In the Tenth Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā Arjuna is accepting Kṛṣṇa that &quot;You are the purest of all.&quot; If you are going to reach the purest of all, how you can remain impure? This tapasya... This voluntary restraint means tapasya. Tapasya, there is a Sanskrit word, tapasya. Tapasya means voluntarily restraining or accepting some suffering condition. That is not actually suffering condition. Just like a patient. A doctor says, &quot;You cannot take it.&quot; So he has the desire to take it, but doctor says that &quot;you cannot take it.&quot; Therefore he mentally thinks that &quot;Doctor has restricted this. I am suffering.&quot; Actually he is curing, but he thinks that &quot;I am suffering.&quot; And when he&#039;s cured, he sees, &quot;Oh, doctor is good friend. He told me not to indulge in this. Now I have done it. I am now cured.&quot; So tapasya means voluntarily one has to accept some so-called suffering. That is required to make advancement in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, voluntarily acceptance, some so-called suffering. Tapaḥ divyam. That suffering is for transcendental realization. That is good. Tapo divyaṁ yena sattvaṁ śuddhyet ([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.1|SB 5.5.1]]). Śuddhyet means your existence will be purified. And existence purified means you advance to realize unlimited happiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;span class=&quot;link&quot;&amp;gt;[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- May 10, 1969, Columbus, Ohio|Room Conversation -- May 10, 1969, Columbus, Ohio]]: &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div style=&quot;display: inline;&quot; class=&quot;text&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&amp;gt;So it is not difficult.

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;heading&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Voluntary restraint means tapasya.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- May 10, 1969, Columbus, Ohio|Room Conversation -- May 10, 1969, Columbus, Ohio]]: &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;display: inline;&amp;quot; class=&amp;quot;text&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;display: inline;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;So it is not difficult. It is very easy. If you take to this, you have everything sublime and your life becomes sublime. You haven&amp;#039;t got to give up anything. The material needs are there, eating, sleeping, mating and defending. That is not disallowed, but adjusted for Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We cannot allow eating, mating, like animals, cats and dogs. No. That is not possible. You&amp;#039;ll eat, you&amp;#039;ll mate, but just like human being, civilized man. Then what is the distinction between animal and man if we behave like animals? Kṛṣṇa, God, is pure. So if you keep yourself in impure condition of life, then how you can make progress towards purity, highest perfection, purity? Paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān ([[Vanisource:BG 10.12|BG 10.12]]). In the Tenth Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā Arjuna is accepting Kṛṣṇa that &amp;quot;You are the purest of all.&amp;quot; If you are going to reach the purest of all, how you can remain impure? This tapasya... This voluntary restraint means tapasya. Tapasya, there is a Sanskrit word, tapasya. Tapasya means voluntarily restraining or accepting some suffering condition. That is not actually suffering condition. Just like a patient. A doctor says, &amp;quot;You cannot take it.&amp;quot; So he has the desire to take it, but doctor says that &amp;quot;you cannot take it.&amp;quot; Therefore he mentally thinks that &amp;quot;Doctor has restricted this. I am suffering.&amp;quot; Actually he is curing, but he thinks that &amp;quot;I am suffering.&amp;quot; And when he&amp;#039;s cured, he sees, &amp;quot;Oh, doctor is good friend. He told me not to indulge in this. Now I have done it. I am now cured.&amp;quot; So tapasya means voluntarily one has to accept some so-called suffering. That is required to make advancement in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, voluntarily acceptance, some so-called suffering. Tapaḥ divyam. That suffering is for transcendental realization. That is good. Tapo divyaṁ yena sattvaṁ śuddhyet ([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.1|SB 5.5.1]]). Śuddhyet means your existence will be purified. And existence purified means you advance to realize unlimited happiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
