________________
There are 12 types of penance. 6 are called external penance and 6 are internal ones.
The six external types are: 1. Fast from time to time 2. Eat in moderation 3. Abandon the feelings of acquisition 4. Eat without the feelings of attachment with
the food 5. Observe Kausagga and sixth one is to achieve a contented mind.
Six internal types of penance 1. Repent for any misdeeds 2. Show modesty and respect for spiritual leaders 3. Serve the spiritual teachers
Study good books 5. Meditate 6. Observe mental Kausagga.
Now the proper use of one's energy is made by doing all charitable and religious activities.
These are the points of Atichars. May, I stay, within the boundaries of these guide-lines of good character and good behaviour.
