The holy person of our time, it seems, is not a figure like Gotama or Jesus or Mohammed, a person who could found a world religion, but a figure like Gandhi, a person who passes over by sympathetic understanding from one’s own religion to other religions and comes back again with new insight to one’s own. Passing over and coming back, so it seems, is the spiritual adventure of our time.
