Autobiography Chapter 12, Part 17: Sri Yukteswar’s challenge to phoney philosophers

This episode covers the next part of chapter 12: “Among the philosophers, professors, lawyers...” to “...to any scourging inner discipline!”  Summary:  The guests that came to visit Sri Yukteswar’s hermitage did not always leave with their pre-conceptions intact, indeed they were jarred and dissected to the point of no return. What lessons should we learn from this challenge to our method of accumulating scriptural knowledge and how openly we discus it with others? We welcome listeners answers to these tough questions on our YouTube page.  0:00 Summary of previous episode; 1:52 The Tire Kickers; 18:33 The Chemist; 34:13 The Scholar; 52:35 Spiritual Comas; 59:05 Looking ahead to the next episode.  Links discussed in this episode: https://yogananda.com.au/gurus/yogananda_quotes_steps_to_God-46.html https://yogananda.org/blog/concepts-of-god https://youtu.be/tYjYL448-yY?si=SZjFt8pyX6Nlw36S  Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 12: “Master stressed on other occasions the futility...” to “...His ego is pleased, that he can grasp such erudition.”  #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi  awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS
