"Why it is believed that spiritual practice is possible only within traditationly accepted limits and not outside them?"
Meditation, observance of silence and physical relaxation are indeed spiritual practises but are speaking, eating, drinking,sitting and standing are not spiritual practices? The following story illustrates this point:
Once two kings went hunting , rinding their own chariots. One chariot got burned down, while the horse pulling the othe chariot died. Both the kings were stranded. But they worked it out.One gave his chariot and the other horse. and the two were able to return to town.
The same is true of spiritual practice. In a fragmented or partial form it does not bring liberation. The integrity of spiritual practice is questioned by those who insist that it is possible only in a particular place, at a particular time and through a particular activity and not otherwise. One of the incongruities of life is spending two hours in spiritual practice and remaining 22 hrs. in non spiritual pursuits.
