Its value is beyond estimation in words, since between these narrow covers is to be found the flower of the Vedas and Upani-shads This is the deliberate statement of one who has at last found in the East, after many wanderings, the solution to the riddles of the world The essential pointto be remarked about Paramahansa Yogananda's teaching is that it is not speculative but practical, even when dealing with the utmost reaches of metaphysics. The reason is that the Hindus, alone of mankind, have penetrated behind the veil, and possess the knowledge, which is really not philosophical, i.e., wisdom-loving, but wisdom itself Only by actual personal realization, by practice or method such as Paramahansa Yogananda offers, can Truth ever be known beyond doubt."
