Spiritual Message by the Mother/ Quotes by Sri Aurobindo

Tapasya is a strong concentration of the energies for a result - but usually concentration of them in the practice of some discipline for a spiritual result.

Sri Aurobindo

Tapasya is the concentration of the will to get the results of sadhana and to conquer the lower nature.

Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - II: The Central Processes of the Sadhana

When the will and energy are concentrated and used to control the mind, vital and physical and change them or to bring down the higher consciousness or for any other Yogic purpose or high purpose, that is called Tapasya.

Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - II: Surrender
