Question: Jesus said, “I am the gate”. But you quote
Krishna and others so often...
Answer: Well, first of all, He did not say “I am the only gate”. Jesus
was far from being arrogant. On the contrary, He suggested that we learn humility
from Him.
Secondly, what does the word gate mean? Jesus could not mean His body,
could He? He spoke about the Teaching that the Father gave through Him!
But God-the-Father taught, teaches, and will teach the Supreme Truth not only
through Jesus. But also through all those people who come close to the Perfection.
You can compare concepts of diverse schools with the Teaching of Jesus. What
is in accord with it is good, what contradicts it is bad.
I, for one, evaluate other schools in this way: is there a priority of Love in
them and is God-the-Father their adepts’ Goal. This is what Jesus taught.
