Two classes of Yogis

Sri Ramakrishna: "There are two classes of yogis: the vahudakas and the kutichakas.

The vahudakas roam about visiting various holy places und have not yet found peace of mind. But the kutichakas, having visited all the sacred places, have quieted their minds. Feeling serene and peaceful, they settle down in one place and no longer move about. In that one place they are happy; they don't feel the need of going to any sacred place. If one of them ever visits a place of pilgrimage, it is only for the purpose of new inspiration.
