Question: How do you compare the consciousness of philosophy and that of poetry?

Sri Chinmoy: We cannot make any comparison between philosophy and poetry. They are two different fields. I can only say that philosophy is like a very large ship, whereas poetry is like a very small and cute boat. The philosophy-ship carries many, many more passengers than the poetry-boat.
