1. 1. A colleague announces they're done with corporate ambition and will do nothing for six months, just rest and be. They call this true renunciation. How should you understand it?

   A. True renunciation lies in acting without depending on the fruit, not in ceasing to act. B. Yes, withdrawing from all work for six months is the very definition of genuine renunciation. C. Renunciation requires permanently abandoning society, so six months is far too brief to matter. D. Resting is renunciation only if no one ever finds out you stopped working.

   This verse declares that the merely inactive person is neither renouncer nor yogi; true renunciation is performing right action free of dependence on its results.

2. 2. You meditate, practise postures, and study scripture daily, yet a constant background anxiety nags at whether your practice is 'working' and whether you're advancing fast enough. How should you regard this anxiety?

   A. It proves you simply need a more advanced technique to finally make real progress. B. It means meditation is unsuited to you, so it is wiser to abandon the goal entirely. C. The anxious craving for a guaranteed outcome is the ego's grip that genuine yoga must release. D. It is harmless ambition that actually fuels faster spiritual advancement when channelled well.

   Here the Lord teaches that no one becomes a yogi without renouncing self-willed expectation; the demand that a particular result must arrive is the very ego-grip yoga dissolves.

3. 3. After five years of forcing your wandering mind back during two hours of daily sitting, you feel no progress and wonder whether you should simply meditate even more. What is the wiser path?

   A. Double your sitting time, because only relentless force will eventually subdue a restless mind. B. Accept that you lack the temperament for meditation and quietly give the practice up. C. Just wait passively for peace to descend on its own, doing nothing in the meantime. D. Turn to selfless action to purify the mind, and let the sitting deepen naturally afterward.

   This verse prescribes selfless action as the means for one still climbing toward yoga; purifying the inner instrument through service lets meditation ripen of itself.
