Title: AS GURU SENSED
Review: A long time ago the book title was "The Master said", because that phrase initiated Yogananda's responses to queries, and other words he said. His words are not gospel truth, however. His explanations of the Holy Ghost discredit what the Bible tells, and so with his Hindu explanations of God the Father and Christ too.He thinks God can make the world go backwards. Phycisists today don't think the universe can be reversed, nor do I.The scheme of the book resembles The Analects of Confucius (Kongzi). A deep servility to the guru runs through the book - that is communicated very, very much, whether he is right or wrong - disciples believe his guidelines are faultless - yes, faultless.Surely, "leader infallibility" is a great claim to live up to, especially outside cults.
