Always associate with those who are loyal to God and the Great Gurus and you will find your life becoming the highest type of life. Be true to the truth of Self-Realization [Yogoda Satsanga] teachings and you shall find your life filled with the glory of Spirit, with the effulgence of the Almighty.
Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
So what Yogananda said is – true to his teachings. Not to the organization. Right now there is no guru of the caliber of Yogananda
Reading what he wrote is very good. But be clear of aim. God. You can worship a true Guru. They are rare to meet But not others
But one must associate constantly with those on the path sincerely. With love for God.
