{FN35-21} We must bear in mind that what was
mystical a thousand years ago is no longer so, and what is mysterious
now may become lawfully intelligible a hundred years hence. It is the
Infinite, the Ocean of Power, that is at the back of all manifestations.
"The law of KRIYA YOGA is eternal. It is true like mathematics;
like the simple rules of addition and subtraction, the law of KRIYA
can never be destroyed. Burn to ashes all the books on mathematics,
the logically-minded will always rediscover such truths; destroy
all the sacred books on yoga, its fundamental laws will come out
whenever there appears a true yogi who comprises within himself
pure devotion and consequently pure knowledge."
Just as Babaji is among the greatest of avatars, a MAHAVATAR, and
Sri Yukteswar a JNANAVATAR or Incarnation of Wisdom, so Lahiri
Mahasaya may justly be called YOGAVATAR, or Incarnation of Yoga.
By the standards of both qualitative and quantitative good, he
elevated the spiritual level of society. In his power to raise his
close disciples to Christlike stature and in his wide dissemination
of truth among the masses, Lahiri Mahasaya ranks among the saviors
of mankind.
His uniqueness as a prophet lies in his practical stress on
a definite method, KRIYA, opening for the first time the doors of
yoga freedom to all men. Apart from the miracles of his own life,
surely the YOGAVATAR reached the zenith of all wonders in reducing
the ancient complexities of yoga to an effective simplicity not
beyond the ordinary grasp.
