One who directs the twists and turns arising in the mind in an appropriate fashion, can withstand these forces in a constructive way. That is the best way to practice penance and it is the true sadhana. Such inclinations and tendencies arise in our mind off and on. It lives, goes away and yet enters again in a different form and produces the same kind of tendencies again. It is the greatest penance if one has the awareness about one's goal in life at that moment and makes an effort to utilize it for that purpose. The soul that accepts such penance with happiness can go much higher in his development.
The true Bhagawat* is expressed in the real life. This weekly discourse of Bhagawat is being played out in daily life. If we try to awaken the Krishna who is laying dormant within us by following and practicing the real bhavna behind the readings of Bhagawat; we would have used that week in the best possible way.
*Bhagawat is a holy hindu scripture. Some times it is read for a week and devotees try to follow its teachings in their lives.
