_Professor Carse:_ Well, does that mean, for example, your disciples can practise meditation as you instruct them and also remain in their own individual religious traditions?

Sri Chinmoy: Absolutely, absolutely! I have so many Christians. Here I am in the Western world. So, I tell them that they do not have to give up their religion, far from it. Religion is, after all, a home. I was born in a particular house and you were born. So, how can you say that you were not born there? But then we go to school to study together. That study is inner school and there we have the Inner Guide. God is our Teacher and Professor. But He definitely wanted me to take birth in India and He wanted you to take birth here in America. Then again, you come to New York University to teach and there I go as a student. So, here we become again together.
