Yoga Sutra by Barbara Stoler Miller

In her introduction to Yoga: Discipline of Freedom, Barbara Stoler Miller writes that, in the Indian view, the practitioner of yoga is not a passive person, but a spiritual hero who is active and potent. (3) Focusing on a limited set of aphorisms, collect evidence from Patanjalis text that confirms and amplifies Millers view. Where does such potency reside and how can it be cultivated according to the text? Where does the yoga practitioners heroism show up in the writing? Alternatively, argue against Millers claim. Does the text demand passivity on the part of the yoga practitioner? And if not a spiritual hero, what kind of figure is the yoga practitioner as you read the Yoga Sutra?
