He [Sri Yukteswar] added humbly. ‘If ever you find me falling from a state of God-realisation, please promise to put my head on your lap and help to bring me back to the Cosmic Beloved we both worship’.
~ Paramhansa Yogananda -Autobiography of a Yogi
Yukteshwar was asked by Yogananda parents and yukteshwar told them he had much to do. This obviously hurt his parents feelings. After his parents left, Yogananda gently said please spare my parents hurt feelings from my lack of progress.
That’s when yukteshwar said
He [Sri Yukteswar] added humbly. ‘If ever you find me falling from a state of God-realisation, please promise to put my head on your lap and help to bring me back to the Cosmic Beloved we both worship’.

It is difficult for such enlightened people to err. That is what yukteshwar meant. IF.
