Here is the current cover of the e-book Autobiography of a Yogi.

“…when asked by the nobleman to heal his son who was dying at Capernaum, Jesus observed wryly: “Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.” It was a gentle rebuke: “You are loath to believe in God’s message of salvation sent through me unless He first demonstrates His presence in me by a display of miracles that benefits primarily your temporal needs.” God should not have to prove Himself through miracles to earn the love and trust of His children. Each one, through his own free will and perfect accord, should make a voluntary choice of the heart to love God and to seek to know Him. In the wisdom of a master, one should recognize the Divine Presence and be inspired toward God-realization without the impetus of supernatural demonstrations. ”

“Historically, on the brink of such a horrendous war as that related in the Mahabharata, it is most unlikely that, as the Gita depicts, Krishna and Arjuna would draw their chariot into the open field between the two opposing armies at Kurukshetra and there engage in an extensive discourse on yoga. While many of the chief events and persons in the compendious Mahabharata indeed have their basis in historical fact, their poetic presentation in the epic has been arranged conveniently and meaningfully (and wonderfully condensed in the Bhagavad Gita portion) for the primary purpose of setting forth the essence of India’s Sanatana Dharma, Eternal Religion.
In interpreting scripture, one must not, therefore, ignore the factual and historical elements in which the truth was couched. One must distinguish between an ordinary illustration of a moral doctrine or recounting of a spiritual phenomenon and that of a deeper esoteric intent. One has to know how to recognize the signs of the convergence of material illustrations with spiritual doctrines without trying to drag a hidden meaning out of everything. One must know how to intuit the cues and express declarations of the author and never fetch out meanings not intended, misled by enthusiasm and the imaginative habit of trying to squeeze spiritual significance from every word or statement.
The true way to understand scripture is through intuition, attuning oneself to the inner realization of truth.”
