EAST AND WEST, WHERE IS THE BOUNDARY?
Hence it is not Western religion that is benefiting Asia, but the confidence of the people of Asia in themselves and their own traditions and their ability to adapt them to the changed circumstances of the modern world.  While Western culture is exporting itself to Asia, the division of East and West is used to prevent Eastern culture from being imported in to the West. However, if Western culture is going to be exported to Asia, Eastern culture must come to the West.

The trade of ideas and culture can no more be a one way street than the trade of merchandise. If the East can benefit from Western culture, then certainly the division between East and West is not real. Then the West can benefit from Eastern culture without people losing their real nature, which after all is a matter of the heart, not of geographical divisions.
