These are called Śayamit and Niyamit." "Viveka is that which will divide truth and untruth completely... who has viveka all the time is the happiest and safest person." The speaker explains the core disciplines for a spiritual life: Śayamit (self-control and setting boundaries) and Niyamit (daily discipline). He details how these practices, along with regular prayer (sandhyā), purify the mind and senses.
