Mr. Bill Paradis: In Western religion many prayers are offered to God the Father. In Eastern religion many prayers are offered to God the Mother. What is the spiritual difference?

Sri Chinmoy: There is no spiritual difference. God the Father and God the Mother are eternally one and the same. The seeker in us feels the necessity of approaching either God the Father or God the Mother for the satisfaction that is needed. Some seekers feel that they can easily establish a free access to God the Mother, while others feel that they can easily establish a free access to God the Father. It is up to the individual to approach either God the Father or God the Mother for both inner and outer satisfaction.
