Episode Synopsis

The supreme tapsya is to take exactly what we require to do the optimum performance in our devotional service, no more no less. More than that is sense gratification, less is foolishness. So, we need guidance. We have to get enough sleep so that we can sit and listen to Bhagvatam class nicely and chant our rounds nicely and do our service nicely. But if we sleep too much and we are wasting our life and being consumed by the mode of ignorance, it’s very delicate. And if we eat too little, we become very weak, sometimes diseased, we cannot do our service properly, we cannot think properly. And if we eat too much, then we want to go to sleep also, simply spending our day trying to digest food and our tongue becomes uncontrolled, just allowing us to do what it wants. You have to control all the senses on all side by the intelligence Krishna says.
