This episode covers the last part of chapter 12: “My guru personally attended to the details...” to “...and egotism whose fall is the height of a man.” 

Summary: 

In this section Sri Yukteswar shows us the way to outwit unscrupulous souls seeking to take advantage of us. We reflect on more of Sri Yukteswar’s traits and qualities, precisely as Paramahansa Yogananda wanted us to do for this long part of the book. As we draw the chapter to a close, we reflect on its variegated teachings and life lessons and look ahead to chapter 13.
