Beauty ＆ Pure 132

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-consciousnes s.
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-consciousnes s and Self-Realisation are all
the same.
