Bhagavad Gita 17.6

Krishna speaking to Arjuna

कर्षयन्तः शरीरस्थं भूतग्राममचेतसः। मां चैवान्तःशरीरस्थं तान्विद्ध्यासुरनिश्चयान् ॥

karṣhayantaḥ śharīra-sthaṁ bhūta-grāmam achetasaḥ māṁ chaivāntaḥ śharīra-sthaṁ tān viddhy āsura-niśhchayān

Unintelligent, tormenting the aggregated elements forming the body, and Me also, seated in the inner body, know these demoniacal in their resolves.

In plain words: Krishna continues: people who harshly punish their own bodies for show or out of pride are foolish. They hurt the body, and they also hurt Krishna, who lives within them. Their aims are cruel and wrong.
