"Pitta resides over all metabolic and transformative processes in the mind, body and spirit. It is akin to the principle of tapas~self discipline, from the sanskrit verb "tap" which means "to burn". The traditional interpretation is "fiery discipline" ~ a burning enthusiasm; a striving toward goals; any intention that burns away the obstacles to knowing the true self/universal nature; the inner gold originally hidden from view"Ayurveda for Yoga Teachers, Alana Greenberg .
