Admission to the Ashram, 1927 – 1943 [10]

This path of Yoga is very special and a very difficult one. Yogic Sadhan does not give a sufficient idea of it. It requires not only capacity for sadhana, but a psychic call of a very definite kind – a mental adhesion is not sufficient. Before I can assent to his coming here, I must be sure of his having this call. Why should he not continue his practice at Rishikesh and see what develops in him and what is his real way?
