I thought I would put this in the relevant thread.
I spent an entire day today reading the Gospel of Matthew and my respect for Jesus has really plummeted. I have read the stories of many great Yogis, masters, and if Jesus is going to be counted amongst them, then I have never come across as one as arrogant as Jesus. He constantly proclaims that he is the ONE, goes around place to place collecting people to worship him, to abandon all their possessions and to renounce their family and friends, so they can worship him alone, and all they get in return is nothing more than faith and cryptic parables. He appoints himself as the right-hand man of god and even arrogantly declares that he will be judging people. To his disciples he gives a special concession of having their own thrones so they can judge the 12 tribes of Israel. He declares that he will return and by then he wants his name to be spread all over the Earth. He shows his disciples the great miracles he can do and even shows them a vision where god confirms he is the ONE.
If this really is not a fictional storyand Jesus really did all these things, then he was a man who had developed siddhis, went astray and started to gather personal fame for himself by showing people his siddhis and then developed these delusions of granduer that he is the ONE. There are countless of such tantriks in India who after developing some powers go out of control. This is one of the reasons why the Yogasutras says that one should not be tempted by the lure of siddhis.
