N:"Islam and Hinduism were twins." He said, "hairs of the same head." He tell us," I talked to the Hindo holy men, people who had attained the highest level of spiritual enlightenment, and in our conversations that were free and open, I detected, although there were verbal differences, no essential disagreement on our understanding of God. And so I decided to write a book about that, about the religions of the two communities. And I called it the Meeting Place of The Two Oceans." It was a project that was heroic, quixotic even, and it would cost him his life and his crown.国王说过,伊斯兰教和印度教是双胞胎,就像同一颗头上的两根头发。他告诉我们:“我已和印度教圣人谈过,他们已经达到精神觉悟的最高境界。在我们自由谈成的谈话中,我发现尽管说法不同,在对天主的理解上我们没有本质的区别。所以我决定写一本关于两个教派的书,书名就叫《两个大洋的会面》。”这是个壮举,甚至有点不切实际,这会以他的一生和王位作为代价。
