Yogananda shares an important note on Christ’s attainment from his own endlessly-perceptive guru: “In this passage Jesus calls himself the Son of God. Though he was truly united with God, his reference here has a deep impersonal significance,” my guru explained. “The Son of God is the Christ or Divine Consciousness in man. No mortal can glorify God. The only honor that man can pay his Creator is to seek Him; man cannot glorify an Abstraction that he does not know.” –Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, quoted by Yogananda
