'A man who accepts a job under anyone is a slave.' That impression became so indelibly fixed that even after my marriage I refused all positions. I met expenses by investing my family endowment in land." - Sri Yukteswar

Sri Yukteswar had a pretty snutty attitude, that was probably the flaw which kept him anchored to the body. It is told that very great saints must have one flaw otherwise they wouldn't be able to live in teh material plane.

Such attitude is well described by his own disciple Dasgupta.
