  In a comment of this article we find word by E.J. Nunn ...

" E. J. Nunn -- Interesting, but with some questionable conclusions.

  Yogananda also said that all the crazy things that go on in the land of the illusive little self are things that are experientially real but have not long term reality at all. 

Yogananda says that all here below is a motion picture show.
