Donna Halper: So whether you call God by the name Allah or Buddha or Vishnu or whatever, meditation is the same?

Sri Chinmoy: It is only a name. A child will call his father 'Daddy', but the same man is called by a different name when he goes to the office. It is like water. You call it 'water' in English, but a French person will call it 'l'eau', and a Bengali will call it 'jal'. It is the same thing, only called by different names.
