Yes, I suppose. Fortunately they both had a Master there to counsel them, even if he set the whole experience up to begin with.

It would appear even HIK says one must CRUSH or DESTROY or ANNHILIATE the Ego. Such choice words, I just wonder- is it reflective of the culture? the age period? masculine solar energy? Or is there really no other choice?

At least these beautiful Masters recognize the battle within- and recognize everything as God. 

I don't think it necessary to destroy the ego. More like, "fine-tuning" an instrument. We can go through life in a way that we recognize proper pitch and even the hands that tune an instrument. It takes time, years and even lifetimes to recognize. It's how we get to the illusory notion, "no ego" since we all have one but we can have one that reflects more than not the Father.

Just like Christ, Yogananda is a reflection of the Father... At least- Anandamayi Ma would call him so. And to me... She is Divine Mother.

And she is the one who recognizes change and changelessness existing simultaneously.
