Ordinarily a Human being lives in agony, anguish, anxiety, pain and misery.
If you look at Krisha, he has moved to the other polarity: he lives in ecstasy.There is no agony left....You can love him, you can dance with him for a while, but the bridge will be missing. You are in agony, he is in ecstasy - where is the bridge?
A buddha has gone even farther away. He is neither in agony, nor in ecstasy. He is absolutly quiet and calm....He looks like a myth - maybe a wishfullfillment of humanity...How can such a man walk on this earth, so transcendental to all agony and ecstasy? He is too far away.
Jesus is the bridge. He is in agony as you are...in agony on the cross. He is in the ecstasy that sometimes a Krishna achieves: he celebrates, he is a song, a dance. And he is also transcendence. There are moments, when you come closer to him, when you will see that his innermost being is neither the cross nor his celebration, but transcendence. That´s the beauty about Christ: there exists a bridge. You can move towards him by and by, and he can lead you towards the unknown - and so slowly that you will not even be aware when you cross the boundary, when you enter the unknown from the known...
