Admission, Staying, Departure

Admission to the Ashram, 1927 – 1943 [6]

Is it possible under your guardianship (or elsewhere and in that case where?) to live a longer life than usual in India, and similarly to transplant self with body to other planets or other distant parts on the earth? I believe you have achieved all these powers. I do not mean transplanting the soul alone which could naturally be achieved after death.

Will you very kindly admit one who has some practice in yoga and is prepared to abide strictly by the injunctions to a student in yoga?

Only those who take up this way of Yoga are admitted, if otherwise fit or ready, to this Asrama. The miraculous powers he mentions are not among the objects of this Yoga.
