The goal of all its [Raja-Yoga’s] teaching is
how to concentrate
the minds, then,
how to discover the innermost recesses of our own minds, then,
how to generalize their contents and form our own conclusions from them.
It,
therefore, never asks the question what our religion is,
whether we are Deists
or Atheists,
whether Christians, Jews, or Buddhists.
We are human beings; that
is sufficient.
Every human being has the right and the power to seek for
religion.
Every human being has the right to ask the reason, why, and to have
his question answered by himself, if he only takes the trouble.
