It is akin to a fire or an intense *tapas* (ascetic discipline)—a formidable process that burns away deep-seated human karma. It involves the combustion of an invisible energy flow that transcends the physical body’s limits. Yet, in analyzing this, it seemed that the heat generated—often felt as a sudden loss of moral strength and a temporary, agitated questioning of the external world’s values—was actually a manifestation of that very transformative *tapas* energy.
Doctor, please correct me if there are any errors in this understanding; I wish to rectify them and move forward. I ask this because, while I have experienced such shifts in my life before, I have never encountered them at this specific level. Please forgive me for repeatedly messaging you and causing any inconvenience.
Tapas leads to an increase of energy. Faith in the Divine increases its potency whereas doubt and a sceptic questioning does decrease it. But there can be a questioning that seeks to understand and know better. Such a questioning may well consolidate the tapas more by giving it clarity of the mind.
Affectionately,
Alok da
