True cure is that which provides liberation
from
the general malady of the world.
The beginning of worship or adoration
is
the commencement of this remedy.
When meditation is complete, we are wholly cured.

The Supreme Spirit is the only God
and
the means-the impulses-that provide access to that God
are
the “divine treasure”
because they bring the ultimate God within reach.

The world is an expanded form of the mind.

So the mutable world is the object
that has to be offered as a sacrifice.
When the mind is perfectly controlled,
there is also perfect control over the world.

To trim the mind along with the body
and
senses in keeping with the goal,
is
penance.

They tend to digress from the goal
but have to be pulled back and applied to it.

The real Yagya is restraint of the vital winds of life, 
subduing of the senses, 
and control of the mind.

Penance is the initial to final requirement
for
traversing upon
the
“Path of Self Realization”

Humble Wishes!!!
