Discipline and heat — the willingness to engage in what transforms you.
*Tapas* literally means “heat” — the inner fire generated by committed practice. In Tantra, tapas burns away the residues of old conditioning (*saṃskāras*) and forges the capacity to hold more light. This is not self-punishment — it’s the steady tending of the flame of transformation.
Try this: Commit to one small action today that strengthens you — and follow through fully.
Steady heat, steady beat
