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.國王說過,伊斯蘭教和印度教是雙胞胎,就像同一顆頭上的兩根頭發。他告訴我們:“我已和印度教圣人談過,他們已經達到精神覺悟的最高境界。在我們自由談成的談話中,我發現盡管說法不同,在對天主的理解上我們沒有本質的區別。所以我決定寫一本關于兩個教派的書,書名就叫《兩個大洋的會面》。”這是個壯舉,甚至有點不切實際,這會以他的一生和王位作為代價。
