Paliwanag
Krishna now addresses a misuse of austerity (tapas). Some people undertake fierce practices not taught in scripture, motivated by hypocrisy and ego and driven by desire and attachment. The sentence continues into the next verse. The warning is relevant because extreme self-punishment can look like great holiness. Krishna suggests that harshness toward the body, when fuelled by pride, is not spiritual strength at all but another form of ego.
