What are the three declarations made by Christ, and what is the significance of them in our lives? As we observe Easter, Bhagawan lovingly reminds us.

The Moon (reflected) in the flowing river is broken and fragmentary; it flows fast, apparently, with the floods. The Moon in the lake is calm, unmoved, undistracted. These two are but reflections of the real Moon in the sky. The Moon reflected in the flood is the Individual Soul, engaged in activity, embroiled in maya, cause and effect. The Moon reflected in the placid face of the lake is the yogi who has attained balance, equipoise, peace, dwelling in the One. The real Moon in the sky is the Eternal Witness, the Absolute, the Primal Principle. Christ spoke of these three when He made three statements. Referring to the individual soul, He said, “I am the Messenger of God;” referring to himself as the yogi, He said, “I am the Son of God.” Realising that these two are but reflections, and that the real Moon is the Witness in the sky, that He too is the Formless, Nameless Absolute, He declared towards the end of his life, “I and My Father are one.” All beings are images of the Universal Atma, in the names and forms they have apparently assumed. This is the truth, enclosed, elaborated, and demonstrated in the spiritual texts of India, which form the basis of Bharatiya culture. The essence of all faiths and the goal of all spiritual endeavour is this: the merging in this Unity. The object of all enquiry is this: to cognise this Unity.
