Yoga Sutra Summary of Chapter 4

Complete absorption in the service of the everchanging lifeflow

Do you still identify with the changing phenomena of life?
Are there any obstacles keeping you from being at the service of life itself?
Is it possible to reflect pure consciousness without distortion?

Yoga Sutra 4.34 The power of presence

Free from the flow of causality, time and experiences

Living with heart and mind open. What is my relationship to the flow of causality? How do I relate to time? What is my perspective on the experiences that I participate in?

Yoga Sutra 4.33 The illusion of time ceases

Noticing the imperceptible succession from one instant to the next

Changes in properties, characteristics and stage are clear and their connection to the notion of time becomes obvious. Yogis step outside of the cicle of time, abiding in the endless present moment.

Yoga Sutra 4.32 Gunas in balance and inactivity

The practitioner steps outside of the ciclo of cause and efect

The natural tendencies toward change cease for the practitioner. Presence without generating karma. To what extent are you in alignment with presence? Can you notice if you are generating karma?

Yoga Sutra 4.29 & 4.39 The greatest harmony: Selfless service without impurities

Absorbed in serving the changing flow of life

This highest kind of integration is known as the integrated cloud of virtue or the integrated cloud of characteristics (dharma megha samadhi). The mind is completely open and so is the heart. There is no accumulation of new impressions related to an individual sense of identity.

Yoga Sutra 4.27 & 4.28 Latent impressions and their removal

What are the impressions that still cause reactivity for you?

Are there still some subtle sources of agitation, reactivity, and drama? How do you keep returning to presence?

Yoga Sutra 4.26 Gravitating toward liberation

Freedom from the sense of identity

Are there any attachments holding you back? What ideas limit your perspective? What notions limit your actions? Is there still some reactivity?
Would it be possible to feel at one with all of existence?

Yoga Sutra 4.25 The individual self dissolves

Realizing the distinction between pure awareness and experiences

With no wants, no needs and no agendas, the yogi experiences directly the difference between the world of experience and pure awareness. Returning to the natural state of pure awareness.
What are the remaining obstacles on your path?
