WHAT IS A REAL YOGI ?


    "I know a yogi who was bitten by a cobra, and who fell down on the ground. In the evening he revived again, and when asked what happened, he said: "A messenger came from my Beloved." All hatred and anger and jealousy have been burnt out of this man. Nothing can make him react; he is infinite love all the time, and he is omnipotent in his power of love. That is the real yogi."

From a Conversation with Swami Vivekananda at Harvard, 1896.
 Swamiji is here referring to Pavahari Baba of Gazipur,
whom he met during his wandering years in northern India. Complete Works, 5.305.
