The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience for capturing Reality must always remain individual and incommunicable.
The truth is that the religious and the scientific processes, though involving different methods, are identical in their final aim. Both aim at reaching the most real.
The Ego is partly free. partly determined, and reaches fuller freedom by approaching the Individual who is most free: God.
The ultimate purpose of religious life is to make this evolution move in a direction far more important to the destiny of the ego than the moral health of the social fabric which forms his present environment.
