Daily practice · RESPONSIBLE PRACTICE

Sāyaṃ-parīkṣā

Evening self-examination

Close the day through recollection, gratitude, repair and release.

01

TEXTUAL ANCHOR

Begin with a traceable source

Yoga Sutra 2.32; dharma reflection traditions. The source is an anchor for study, not a claim that this modern guide is a verbatim passage or the only valid interpretation.

02

DAILY PRACTICE

Turn the teaching into conduct

Review speech, use of time, one kindness, one injury and one unfinished responsibility; write tomorrow’s repair and rest.

03

DISCERNMENT

Keep the practice humane

Do not use review to rehearse self-hatred or suppress serious distress.

04

REFLECTION

A question to carry

What must be acknowledged before sleep?

Answer with one observable example. Spiritual maturity is better tested through truthfulness, steadiness, compassion, repair and useful action than through claims of status.
