1) Give the name of the fourth chapter of the Yoga Sutra (in English and in Sanskrit); then explain its position within the other three chapters. 2) In perhaps the most important line of the Yoga Sutra, Master Patanjali says that “we must become as gardeners.” What does this mean, and what would be the opposite of a gardener? 3) Master Patanjali says that deeds done by a true practitioner are neither white nor black, whereas deeds done by others are of three different kinds. Explain. 4) In the west, we equate things having a cause with things having a beginning. Explain how Master Patanjali would consider this, in view of his statement that people can learn to “see forever, back to no beginning, and ahead with nothing left.” 5) Master Patanjali has said throughout the Yoga Sutra that we are making some basic, fundamental mistake all the time when we look at things. We never have a really correct perception, and this is what causes all of the pain in the world, as we react to events in a completely mistaken way. The question then becomes: If we are always seeing everything wrong, how can we ever see that we are seeing everything wrong? How can we catch ourselves doing it? How can we see truth with an instrument which is itself defective? Give two wrong answers to this question. 6) Explain, using an illustration, how we actually do first catch ourselves making the Great Mistake, even as we make the Great Mistake. 7) Master Patanjali says that two different states of mind “take separate routes to experience one basis.” What are these two states of mind, and what is “the basis” here. 8) If it’s true that our minds are projecting or creating all the things around us, then doesn’t that mean that we are all alone in the universe, simply living within our minds? 9) What question naturally comes up in our mind when we think about how we hear ourselves think? 10) How is it then that we hear ourselves think? 11) Suppose that it’s true that even the thoughts that we hear in our own minds are coming from mental seeds. If that’s the case, are we forever to be simply helpless witnesses of what the seeds present to us—whether it’s the outside world or our own thoughts? What happened to free will? 12) How is this deeper cause for events reflected in the order of the eight limbs of the yogic path? 13) Master Patanjali says that “the way it works is that they organize other parts in a certain way.” What does “they” refer to, and how does this work, for example, with seeing a pot on a stove? 14) Suppose it’s true that our mind is taking “other parts” or indications of an object and organizing them into the object. Where then do the original parts come from? 15) At what point do we reach the first of the five levels, or bhumis, of a spiritual warrior?  16) What happens when we reach the eighth level of a spiritual warrior? What path are we on at this point? 17) Explain why the tenth level of a spiritual warrior is given the name that it is. **
