FAQs
It praises purposeful spiritual movement (feet that go toward a sacred goal) and devotional practice (hands that perform worship), presenting them as the truly “fruitful” and “blessed” uses of the body.

Direct your actions toward worthy aims: let your steps move toward dharma and sacred purpose, and let your hands be engaged in reverent, constructive deeds—especially acts of worship and service.
