There's actually a quite interesting movie about Ram Dass, about his life before and after stroke. It became a revelation that continuing living required digging deeper, and made him question much of his past, acting like the famous yogis and fooling around. When high on spirit, one may become a bit arrogant and full of oneself. He got more or less to see himself as "no more enlightened" than others, realize more of being the same as others, conscious sameness. That being a yogi is about much more than being famous, wealthy or having good health, none of that actually.

Lots of spiritual saints have had bad accidents and maladies in their life. Their power is often how to turn it to something deeper, meaningful, helping others and being inspirational - or just make a laugh about it. Ashtavakra was a total cripple (Ashtavakra means "8 knots" in the body), yet is studied and highly revered in India for his Gita.
