Samayasāra paints the journey toward a soul stripped of its karmic baggage as a blend of inner witness, disciplined habits and unwavering clarity. It’s about peeling back the layers of illusion—like turning over a new leaf—so the pure self beneath can shine.

Right View (Sad-darśana): Cultivating unwavering confidence in the soul’s intrinsic purity. By truly grasping “what the self is,” every choice starts to fall into place.

Right Knowledge (Samyak-jñāna): A laser focus on the distinction between the eternal jīva and fleeting matter. Regular study of Kundakunda’s verses—preferably in a quiet nook or during a digital detox—sharpens this insight.

Right Conduct (Samyak-cāritra): Putting theory into action through five core vows: non­violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, chastity and non-possession. Observing these vows is like sweeping out the cobwebs of past misdeeds.

Meditative Absorption (Dhyāna): Anchoring awareness in the soul’s stillness. Daily sessions, even five minutes of silent sitting or guided breath-work, mirror the modern mindfulness trend and help quash the mind’s chatter.

Equanimity Practice (Samayika & Pratikramaṇa): Setting aside fixed intervals—traditionally forty-eight minutes—to pause, reflect and confess lapses. This resembles today’s journaling craze, offering real­time course correction.

Detachment (Vairāgya) & Self-Restraint (Samyama): Learning to ride cravings instead of chasing them. Whether resisting that extra scroll through social media or declining indulgent snacks, these small victories mirror Kundakunda’s prescriptions for controlling passions.

Mantra Recitation: Chanting the Namokāra Mantra with full awareness acts like a spiritual tune­up, harmonizing the heart’s rhythm with the soul’s melody.

By weaving these practices into daily life—much like planting seeds in a garden—each moment becomes an opportunity to shed karmic residue and embrace the soul’s luminous essence.
