Educational Q&A

Spiritual practice (tapas and yoga) is typically preceded by a life of action; through many deeds one accrues results that lead to higher realms, and only then does one seriously commence austerity and yogic discipline.

In the Vyādha’s instruction to a brāhmaṇa, he explains the moral-spiritual progression from action (karma) and its fruits to the later undertaking of tapas and yoga, emphasizing how deeds shape one’s experiential ‘worlds’ (lokas).
