156. Protean

Chinmoy, is it true that a Yogi can assume protean forms? Is it true that he can even assume the form of an animal?

Chinmoy:

Yes, Madal, a Yogi can do that. He can take any form he wants to. But you have to know that only a third class Yogi enjoys assuming the form of an animal, whereas a real Yogi, the first class Yogi, enjoys the divine life in a human body.
