From the Spiritual Diary, March 9, Guru-Disciple Relationship: Mahasamadhi of Swami Sri Yukteswar. Swami Sri Yukteswar to Paramahansa Yogananda, before whom he appeared in the flesh on June 19, 1936, more than three months after his Mahasamadhi (a great yogi's final conscious exit from the body): "Grieve not for me....You and I shall smile together, so long as our two forms appear different in the maya-dream of God. Finally we shall merge as one in the Cosmic Beloved; our smiles shall be His smile, our unified song of joy vibrating throughout eternity to be broadcast to God-tuned souls!" - Swami Sri Yukteswar, in "Autobiography of a Yogi"
