Meaning

For real, if you wanna slay the pain, you gotta keep it balanced. Moderate your food, your chill time, your workouts, and your sleep. It's all about that balance, fam.

Commentary

Yo, Krishna's droppin' some serious knowledge here. He's sayin' chill with the extreme fasting and self-torture, Buddha-style. That ain't the path to enlightenment. Balance is key, fam. Moderation in everything – food, sleep, workouts, everything. Think of it like this: you gotta fuel your body right, get enough rest, and not go too hard. It's about finding that sweet spot, that perfect vibe. Too much of anything is a no-no. It's about a balanced lifestyle, not some crazy ascetic life. Get enough sleep, eat right, and you'll be vibing on a whole other level. This ain't about self-flagellation; it's about self-care, and that's how you unlock inner peace and slay all your problems.
