The society you live in expects you to behave in a certain manner and to live up to its societal expectations. People resort to lying, cheating and bending the truth in order to fit in with said society. This deception is usually not to hurt others but instead a tactical method to protect yourself or their feelings. Today, we all seem to assume role playing by acting contrary to what we truly think and feel, to protect our jobs, families etc. Ultimately, people forget the true purpose of their existence.

When you are honest with yourself, when you stay true to your purpose and lead your life the way you want to, that is "tapas", the greatest austerity. Your fulfillment is going to come from pursuing what matters to you. If you are sure of whom you are, let others be what they are, let things be where they are, let circumstances be how they are and choose peace above all else, it is the greatest form of tapas.
