_Professor Carse:_ Let me ask you about one of the terms you used there: 'aspire' — that's different than 'inspire'. Aspiration is an inner activity?

Sri Chinmoy: Aspiration and inspiration. Aspiration is an inner activity and inspiration is an outer activity. Here, right now, you and I are trying to inspire millions of people who will be watching the show, with our devoted oneness with them. So, this is inspiration. And before that, we aspired. We aspired to do something good for the listeners. So, aspiration comes from within and inspiration we offer to the world.
