Question: Venerable Sir, can you tell us more about your work for peace in the world? Do you recommend that people be involved politically?

Sri Chinmoy: On our path we are not politically involved. We are only spiritually involved. Politics is not my forte. My forte is prayer and meditation. Whatever message I get from deep within, I try to offer to my Lord Supreme. As an offering, I try to see Him and feel Him inside the aspiration and dedication of each human being.

Politics is one way. There are many, many ways that lead to Rome. We feel that each individual has to make the ultimate choice. He has to decide which road he is going to take. In our case, we have chosen the way of spirituality, which is conscious self-giving to our brothers and sisters, humanity.
