"Autobiography of a Yogi" 

   All great prophets have remained silent when requested to unveil the
ultimate secrets.When Pilate asked:"What is truth?"Christ made no replay.
"to this end was I born,and for this couse came I into the world,that I 
should bear witness unto the truth.Everyonethat is of the truth hears
my voice"(John18:37)In these few words Christ spoke volumes.A child of
God "bears witness"by his life.He embodies truth;if he expounds it also,
that is generous redundancy.
   Truth is no theory,no speculative system of philosophy,no intelectual
insight.Truth is exact correspondence with reality.For man,truth is 
unshakable knowledge of his real nature,his Self as soul.Jesus,by every
act of his life,proved,that he knew the truth of his being-his source in
God.
   Buddha,too,refused to shed light on the metaphysical ultimates,dryly 
pointing out,that man's few moments on earth are best employed in perfecting
the moral nature.The chinesse mystic Lao-tzu rightly taught:"He,who knows,
tells it not;he who tells,knows it not."The final mysteries of God are
not "open to discussion".The decipherment of his secret  code is an art 
that man cannot communicate to man;here the Lord alone is the Teacher.
   "Be still,and know that I am God"(Psalms46:10)Never flounting His 
omnipresence,the Lord is heard only in the immaculate silences.



   The Hindu scriptures teach that man is attracted to this particular
earth to learn,more completely in each succesive life to,the infinite 
ways in which the Spirit may be expressed through,and be dominant over,
material conditions.East and West are learning this great truth in different 
ways,and should gladly share with each other their discoveries.Beyond
all doubt this is pleasing the Lord when His earthchildren struggle to
attain a world civilization free from poverty,disease,and soul ignorance.
Man's forgetfulness of his soul resources is the root cause of all other
forms of suffering.
   Utopia must spring in the private bosom before it can flower in civic
virtue,inner reforms leading naturally to outer ones.A man who has reformed
himself will reform thousends.
   To become the friend of God,man must overcome the devils or evils of
his own karma or actions that ever urge him to spineless acquiescence in
the mayic delusions of the world.A knowledge of the iron law of karma 
encourages the earnest seeker to find the way of final escape from it's 
bonds.
   Becouse the karmic slavery of human beings is rooted in the desires
of maya-darkened minds,it is with mind control that the yogi concerns
himself,the various cloaks of karmic ignorance are laid away,and man 
views himself in his native essence.
