AN ASCKTIC WITH AI.I. HIS Bl^LONGINGS 



Extraordinary as it may appear, in the ranks of the ascetics may be found many men 

 of education and culture, both in the eastern and the western sense of the term, who adopt 

 this life in a genuine endeavor to obtain a glimpse at the "hidden side of things." Such 

 men are most often numbered among the yogis, who, according to occidental notions, are the 

 least offensive of the ascetics. It must not be imagined that all are of this type, for many 

 of them are actuated by no higher motive than the love of that power and influence which 

 fall to the lot of every holy man in India.
