Asceticism is a religious lifestyle that does not have any worldy pleasures. People who practice asceticism think that their practices are virtous and that they will help them obtain greater spirituality. They think that if they purify their bodies, it will purify their souls and will bring them inner peace. They feel that if they deny themselves certain pleasures, they will have greater freedom in other areas of their lives.
