Chadwick, an ardent English devotee, asked, " Why did Jesus call out `My God! My God!' while being crucified? " Maharshi: It might have been an intercession on behalf of the two thieves who were crucified with Him. Again a jnani has attained liberation even while alive, here and now.It is immaterial as to how, where and when he leaves his body. Some jnanis may appear to suffer, others may be in samadhi, still others may disappear from sight before death. But that makes no difference to their jnana. Such suffering is apparent only to the onlooker and not to the jnani, for he has already transcended the mistaken identity of the Self with the body. Talk 88. The same gentleman asked: What is the significance of Christ in the illumination of St. Paul? Maharshi: Illumination is absolute, not associated with forms. After St. Paul became Self-conscious he identified the illumination with Christ-consciousness. D.: But Paul was not a lover of Christ then? M.: Love or hatred is immaterial. The thought of Christ was there. It is similar to Ravana's case. Christ-consciousness and Self- Realisation are all the same.
