[Jitendra Hydonus]

"You will come to me in four weeks." For the first time, Sri Yukteswar's voice was stern. "Now I have told my eternal affection, and have shown my happiness at finding you that is why you disregard my request. The next time we meet, you will have to reawaken my interest: I won't accept you as a disciple easily. There must be complete surrender by obedience to my strict training."

I find this statement tells volumes. Why? Because we are often like this; you give a person an inch and they will often take a yard from you. However, very few people recognize what they take; Yogananda did.
