From which moment is it considered saiyam (a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence)? What is the beginning of saiyam? From the moment artadhyan (adverse internal state of being that results in hurting the self) and raudradhyan (an adverse internal state of being that hurts others) stop. Who is considered as asaiyami (one who is under the control of anger-pride-deceit-greed)? The one who is under the control of things that do not belong to him. As long as artadhyan and raudradhyan do not stop, it is considered as yamniyam (one who is either in a state of coming into self restraint or upholding self restraint).

When is 'our' worldly interaction considered good? It is from the moment 'we' have become saiyamit (in control of one's mind-body and speech). If there is no saiyam (a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence), then worldly interaction cannot be considered as [true] worldly interactions, can they? Even the slightest of asaiyam (lack of control over anger-pride-deceit-greed) means worldly interactions cannot be considered complete.
