Ajahn Brahmali discusses sutta 36 of the Majjhima Nikaya: Mahaasaccaka Sutta - The Greater Discourse To Saccaka (Part 1 of 2).
"In a less confrontational meeting, the Buddha and Saccaka discuss the difference between physical and mental development. The Buddha gives a long account of the various practices he did before awakening, detailing the astonishing lengths he took to mortify the body," Sutta Central.
