Professor Carse: You use the term 'Inner Pilot'. I think it is a very lovely spiritual term. You understand God as the Inner Pilot?

Sri Chinmoy: Yes, God is the Inner Pilot. We say God is the Inner Pilot and also He is the Boat. He is the Boat, He is the Boatman and we are the passengers. When we pray and meditate, we see and feel God as the Pilot, God as the Boat and we are the passengers. He is sailing the Boat towards His Golden Shore.
