Question: If you are preaching something about God, that is religion, not philosophy. Philosophy knows no God.
Sri Chinmoy: This is an erroneous concept of Western philosophy. All Indian philosophy, the Vedic Scriptures begin with God, Brahman, the Infinite, the Supreme without a second. Indian philosophy starts with the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad-Gita and others. Modern Indian philosophy, too, begins and ends with God.
