Valluvar defines Tapas in another kural somewhat in the same way you have described -- "Tapas is the ability to bear these while continuing to stay engaged in the world."
உற்றநோய் நோன்றல் உயிர்க்குறுகண் செய்யாமை
அற்றே தவத்திற்கு உரு.
(Enduring the pain while bearing no illwill on anyone who might have caused the pain, is tavam)
