❓ What are practical ways to develop discrimination (viveka) in daily decisions?

Viveka (विवेक) or discrimination is crucial for making wise choices. The Vivekachudamani emphasizes distinguishing between permanent and temporary, real and unreal.

Practical methods include:

• Regular study of scriptures (svadhyaya)
• Seeking guidance from experienced mentors
• Reflecting on consequences before acting
• Maintaining a daily journal for self-analysis

Modern decision science confirms that systematic reflection and guidance improve decision quality. Combining traditional wisdom with analytical thinking enhances discrimination.
