If we had the siddhis that yogis have, such as laghima, becoming light enough to float on a sunbeam, or mahima, becoming very big or heavy—and I am not talking about getting fat—or pr

Those who possess Krishna prem are neither enjoyers nor renunciants. They are not karmis, fruitive workers; neither are they gyanies persons cultivating knowledge of the impersonal Brahman.
