The poem was also rejected by the Jesuit magazine the Month, primarily because of its new “sprung” rhythm, and many subsequent readers have had difficulty with it as well.

At the age of 74 he began to reread his favorite authors such as Dostoyevsky, Turgenew, Conrad and Hemingway as well as his own works. He came to the conclusion that he had made the best of his possibilities and did not want to continue working as an author, read or talk about new literature.

What distinguishes Yogananda from these subsequent emissaries is not simply that he paved the way for the modern yoga movement, but that from the outset he focused far beyond physical exercises and shone a powerful and practical torchlight on the path to yoga's true purpose: actualizing the infinite potentials within us all.

Greetings to Schopenhauer. p 576 "The horizontal is the realm of the beast, nature, death; it is the corpse in its grave The vertical belongs to man." Or to Karl-Ove humping yet another preteen. p 636 "Happiness is not to get what you want. Happiness is to get what you do not want, and learn to appreciate it." Happiness is a warm gun. p 719 "Only when it [water in the tap] isn't there do we miss it, only then does it become valuable to us - even if it has been keeping us alive the whole time." p 719 Deep shit.
