GENERAL CLARIFICATIONS Gunas
Your attitude should always be to do everything as perfectly as you can. Yoga really means efficiency in action. It is not sitting in some corner meditating all the time. Meditation is only a part of our sadhana as you must have understood by reading the Commentary on T en Commandments. Surely everything is ultimately possible only by the grace of God but that should not lead us to complacency or neglect of duties.
4. Feeling less interested in work (less passionate) and other social matters
We should be detached and yet our work should be the best and our relationships with others are that of mutual respect.
5. Feeling less tolerant of mundane discussions at work or home.
If it is all wasteful talk it is alright. But our participation in essential discussions is a must so that others evaluate as competent and efficient. Yoga should be such that we are competent: Yogah karmasu kausalam is the rule.
