TEXTUAL ANCHOR
Begin with a traceable source
Bhagavad Gita 6.5–6; Yoga Sutra 2.32. The source is an anchor for study, not a claim that this modern guide is a verbatim passage or the only valid interpretation.
Study the source in context →Foundations · RESPONSIBLE PRACTICE
Ātma-parīkṣāSpiritual self-assessment
Observe the condition of attention, conduct, relationships and service without turning spirituality into a score.
DAILY PRACTICE
Turn the teaching into conduct
For seven evenings note one wholesome action, one avoidable harm, one recurring attachment and one repair for tomorrow.
DISCERNMENT
Keep the practice humane
Honest examination should produce responsibility and compassion, not shame or superiority.
REFLECTION
A question to carry
What changed in my conduct—not merely in my mood?
Answer with one observable example. Spiritual maturity is better tested through truthfulness, steadiness, compassion, repair and useful action than through claims of status.
