Talk 88.
The same gentleman asked: What is the significance of Christ in the illumination of St. Paul?M.: 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.
