❓ How can I measure progress in spiritual practice?

Spiritual progress can be assessed through observable changes in behavior and mental states. The Yoga Sutras provide clear indicators of advancement:

• Increased mental peace and emotional stability
• Better control over reactions and impulses
• Growing compassion and understanding towards others
• Reduced attachment to material outcomes

The Bhagavad Gita (13.8-12) lists twenty qualities that develop through spiritual practice, including humility, non-violence, and freedom from pride. Regular self-assessment against these parameters helps track progress systematically.
