YOGA SUTRA.31(OF SWAMI SIVANANDA)

RADHE KRISHNA,

Many people enter the world before (attaining )pefection in Yoga to demonstrate their minor powers in the name of Loka-sangraha (welfare of people) and for fame.They have been reduced to a level worse that of a worldly man--unconsciously swept away from their ideal by temptation---mara or Satan.They are no longer divine Yogins.

OM NAMO NARAYANAYA.
