To sum up, the fragmentary accounts we have of the life and character of
the man Jesus are conclusive proof that he had entered into full
realization of cosmic consciousness.

The intellectual superiority.
The wonderful spiritual magnetism and attraction of his presence.
The absolute, unwavering conviction of his mission, and of his immortality.
The transfiguration, after his "temptation" and his prophetic vision.
His great love and compassion for even his enemies.
These are what made him indeed a Christ.
The term "Christ" and the term "Buddha" are synonymous. They both mean one
who has entered into his godhood.
