Heed the guru Yogananda's valuable words, and avoid winding up as one of the outsmarted victims of hearsay or a cramped, nerurotic believer of lugubrious doctrine . . . Staying away from horseplay teachings is good, and examples abound.
Paramahansa Yogananda was an orator. Some of his recorded statements on different occasions conflict with one another, and the gullible say his teachings are gospel truth. They are far from it, and it helps to distinguish the good from the bad.
